Avva-leen

DinaofCloud9 · 27/09/2021 13:06

Avva line from Bread. Nice name.

fuzzymoomin · 27/09/2021 13:00

Avve-lyn

CaffiSaliMali · 27/09/2021 12:49

I also read the name in a book as a teenager. I've always pronounced it 'Av-uh-leen' but the uh is subtle, so it's sort of a cross between Av-uh-leen and Av-leen.

I love the name but DH vetoed it as be thinks it sounds too close to 'have a lean'.

Av-a-line to rhyme with Have-a-line would be my first guess but wouldn't be surprised by the others.

dorothygaleandtoto · 27/09/2021 08:23

A-veh-lin

Bimblybomeyelash · 27/09/2021 08:02

ToadstoolBubbleMaker · 27/09/2021 07:54

Av - eh - leen

But I don't know anyone called this so I'm just guessing

"avva line" as in "Can I avva line of coke?"

Sorry, that's the first thing that came to mind 😂

As a name, there's something... Wrong about it. It just doesn't seem to work in my brain at all. What about Adeline?

LorenzoVonMatterhorn · 26/09/2021 23:12
  1. Again because i grew up on Bread.
leavesthataregreen · 26/09/2021 23:08

AV-uh-LINE. Like 'Have a line' with the aitch dropped.

PurpleFlower1983 · 26/09/2021 22:54
  1. Ava-line

I have a lovely niece called Avalon.

ofwarren · 26/09/2021 22:37

Av aline

Kite22 · 26/09/2021 22:36

I'd have said "Avva-line" too. (Like 'Have a' without the 'h', then line like washing line).

But I agree with speakout re having to ask Smile

ladygindiva · 26/09/2021 22:26

@MeredithGreyishblue

Aver-Line as in Boswell. Or as in an offer of a narcotic!
Same
Frazzled2207 · 26/09/2021 22:24

Avver-line

Like in Bread but you won’t be old enough to remember that.
I don’t really get your pronunciation options tbh.
The only other one would be avver-leen

MumofSpud · 26/09/2021 22:24

Ava-leen

CanofCant · 26/09/2021 22:24

I went to school with an Aveline! She pronounced it 'ava-leen' and had no problems as far as I knew.

CorpusCallosum · 26/09/2021 22:20

Ohh, it's such a lovely name though!

You can pronounce my name in different ways and I just respond to them all. If someone's asks me how I say it I tell them, it's no big deal!
