I used to know one (British) and he pronounced it eye-vo

LookingForEnergy · 28/06/2024 10:33

Eye-voe here too.

IsadoraQuagmire · 28/06/2024 10:30

Eye-voe

In Britain it's Eye-vo. At the moment, it's still super-posh. But I predict that it will become popular.

EE-vo
common Balkans name, among older generation

AdaColeman · 28/06/2024 09:31

Ee-vo

The only one I've met used this pronunciation, he was from the Balkans.

Popular boys name where I live

WiseBiscuit · 28/06/2024 09:22

I say eye-vo using the same sound as Ivor

We had an Ivor in the family that was eye-vor anyway. He was a dog rather than a human but still.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 28/06/2024 09:18

Eye-vo or ee-vo, depending on where I guessed the person might be from.

GoldDuster · 28/06/2024 09:14

Eye Voh

YellowHairband · 28/06/2024 09:12

Eye-voe

But that's probably just because that's how it's pronounced for the comedian Ivo Graham which is the only place I've heard the name. I could see it being Ee-voe (although that sounds a bit like evil).

Strangely I looked at it and straight away said

E - vo

But I reckon it's probably meant to be Eye-vo?

WetBandits · 28/06/2024 09:07

I’ve met one, he was Ghanaian and pronounced it Eye-voe.

Procrastinates · 28/06/2024 09:04

Eye - voe

Eye - voe.
Or - if there are Eastern European connections- Eee - voe.

Breakfastclubber · 28/06/2024 08:50

Eye - voe
