Question

How does "Yvon " sounds for a baby name? the "y" Is pronounced like the y in "baby"?

Answer 1

ee-von

Answer 2

sounds european.....sounds good

Answer 3

Yvon is beautiful, it's pronounced as e-von.

Answer 4

It's normally spelled Yvonne, and I think that is a beautiful name that you don't see very often. Shortening it to Yvon, I'm  not so big on...Yvonne is a beautiful name and shouldn't be chopped short.

Answer 5

Its a nornal name if you mean "Yvonne" Pronounced E-VON.  

Answer 6

For a boy or girl?

I think Yvon is popular for french guys, don't really like it for a boy though!

For a girl, it's ok, kind of dated.  It reminds me of a girl with an afro in the  70's.

Answer 7

i like it

Answer 8

I like it though the spelling is a bit irritating. Try "Yvonne"

Answer 9

Blah....sounds so dated and boring

Answer 10

Since you are eliminating the silent E, the O turns into a short sound.  An E at the end of a word means to elongate the prior vowel like Rid vs. Ride or Ton vs. Tone.  So, phonetically it's pronounced ev-von similar to Avon.  It's a French boy's name, I think.  Pretty cool name.

Answer 11

hi, it's pronounced ee-von, it's an ok name, better than these made up names people use!!

Answer 12

if it's pronounced e-von then spell it that way so your child doesn't have to say my name is Yvon but it's spelled...................and it's pronounced......................! Poor child.

I like the name Evonn.
