Name pronounciation

So,

I've named my DD Rovenna, and different people pronounce it differently.

How would you pronounce it? Will add the different pronunciations after a few comments, and also say how I pronounce it....

roh-VEN-nah

(roh as in "road")

I love people writing row as a option. It doesn't have one pronunciation!

row row row your boat
I had a terrible row with dh

How do you pronounce it OP?

SierraJulietGolf · 01/11/2021 21:49

Ruhvenna?

Anoisagusaris · 01/11/2021 21:48

Row (to rhyme with low)-venna.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Row-veena either

Ughmaybenot · 01/11/2021 21:48

Row-venna like the start to sound like Rowan and the end to rhyme with Morwenna

@DinaofCloud9

Like the Ro in Rover.
yes Ro as in Rover and Venna as in Vienna bit with the i missing!
