I'm having an issue and only 6 weeks before my little one is due!
I've chosen the name Ieuan, yet now I'm having people query the pronunciation. I want to call him "Ewan" and just thought at the time that this was another way of spelling it. A number of YouTube videos later and I'm finding Ieuan pronounced "jauan"
How would you pronounce this? What other spellings could I use other than "Ewan"?

Ieuan is a different name entirely - pronounced like ‘Y-eye-an’.

Ewan and Euan are pronounced ‘Yew-an/un’

If I'm honest, my first impression was that you'd try to spell Ewan and got some weird autocorrect.

I've never known Ieuan be pronounced the same as Ewan?

I'm struggling to describe how I do pronounce it. It can be 'yay-ann' but the Ieuans I know would rhyme the first syllable with 'eye' rather than 'ay'. (Mid Wales).

What about Euan?
