Olivette sounds like a trade name, perhaps a diluted cooking oil or greenish shade netting.
I know of a Jenny IRL, daughter of friends in another country. Her middle name is, I think, Bathsheba! I like it, and I've also known it (friend of my grandmother's, long deceased) as a nn for Jane, so Jennifer isn't the only possibility.
I far prefer Cloelia to Loelia, which I've never seen before and am in no hurry to see again. Cloelia appeals to me!
Viona sounds like Viola with a bad head cold. Just not attractive to me at all.

Olivette (and in my opinion, many other -ette names) sound forcibly feminine. Olivia sounds like a female version of Oliver; Olivette sounds like trying to make Oliver feminine but falling a bit short.
Jenny is fine, but I wouldn't use it as a full name (too nickname)
Loelia looks a bit strange - I think it's the "oe" combination. Lobelia might be slightly better as that's a flower
Viona looks like a typo of Viola. I love Viola though.

Olivette is cute, but not something I'd ever use as a full name. I prefer Olive, Olivia, and Olivine. Olivette would be a great name for a pet, particularly a bird, fish, or reptile.
I love Jenny. I had a dream not long ago where I was rocking a baby wrapped in a blanket with "Jennie" embroidered on it, and I woke up thinking how cute it is. In my opinion, it doesn't work that well as a standalone (though it certainly has a long history of being used as such), so I would find a longer name. Despite all the reasons not to, I actually like Jennifer, but there's also Jenna and the whole Jane family.
Loelia and Viona do nothing for me.

Olivette is pretty to look at and say. It has a dainty quality, while still maintaining a bit of spunk because of the 'v'. However, I find it less appealing than the solid and quirky Olive and would choose Olive over it any day. It's just one of those names in which the elaboration detracts instead of enhances for me.
Jenny is cute. I love the sound of this name but find the look and feel of it dated. I quite like it as a nickname though. I think I would be likely to use this over Jennifer, since Jennifer has become boring from over-use. I should point out that even though Jenny has a dated feel, it still seems so innocent and fresh when used in real life. It's attractive at any rate.
Leolia. Love the sound. I have a thing against tons of vowels in a row since I grew up with an extremely vowel-heavy name. However, this is darling. I have always been fond of the 'lo' sound and find it refreshing in girls names. the 'ia' ending makes this seem modern, but the entire feel is old-fashioned. While I am sure Loelia is not a made-up name... I find that changing it to Loeli or Loely is somewhat more appealing to me.
Viona - Darling. It has a sophisticated yet simple vibe. I am a huge fan of v names like Vale, Viola, Violet, Vivien, etc. This just seems to be a solid yet quirkier cousin to those. It reminds me of Verona, so I like the romance in it.

Olivette? Too much like the town of Olivet in Michigan for me. None of the other names please me much either.

Don't like any of them. Olivette sounds like a miniature olive you can put on a toothpick on a tiny sandwich. Smaller than an olive.
Viona looks like a botched version of Fiona which I never
liked anyway. And Loelia? Low-eel-ya? No thanks.
Jenny is just okay, but I do like it better than Jennifer.

Olivette - I like it a lot, it's rare but not unheard of. I've never met an Olivette, but think it would be adorable on a little girl
Jenny - It's okay, I prefer Jenny without Jennifer
Loelia - dislike it, its seems a bit trashy, probably because it sounds similar to Lolita
Viona - nms but okay. Viola is much prettier
