Jenna-Vy-OLA?It sounds very medical to me. Like some condition that attacks the genitalia.

I would pronounce it JEN-e-VY-o-LAIt looks very odd and I don't think it sounds very nice, but it's interesting I suppose.

Like Genevieve with a change of heart at the end.
Reminds me of the quote someone used to have in their signature, about how sometimes sentences don't end like you think they salad.
I find it hard to pick up the Viola part - mostly I just see Genevi ... and then the -ola part, like canola or granola or Crayola.
I'm not against smushes, but this one doesn't flow together that well for me.

At first glance I thought "Isn't that the made-up country from The Princess Diaries?" Doesn't do much for me.

I don't like it at all. It looks like the name of a biotech company or something.I'd take a stab at jen-uh-vee-OH-la, but the "gene" part sticks out and makes me want to say jeen-vee-OH-la.
