Ivor Ivo....?

[Pebbles0934]

Advice and opinions on these names please!

How do you pronounce Ivor? Do you pronounce the OR or as ER or Iva?

Someone suggested Ivo to me? Is this pronounced I as the letter i then VO?

What do you think of these names and are they popular where you live? Do you know any?

Thanks!!!

Ivor = Eye-vore
Ivo = E-vo

evo ??? Like the glue stick? That's out then! Thought it was Eye-VO

Erm. Yeah. Sorry. I'm now wondering if I might have given the dutch pronunciation - am hungover and can't quite get my brain to work properly

The only Ivo I know has Italian parents and pronounces his name Ee-vo.
I would pronounce Ivor as Eye-vor but have also heard it pronounced Eye-ver (to rhyme with driver). It makes me think 'Russian'.

I know several Welsh Ifors, pron. iv-or with a short 'i'.

I know two Ivos. Both eye-vo. Love it.

Ivor I pronounce eye-vuh.

I'd agree with the eye-vo pronunciation if Ivo as this us how the one I know is pronounced. I'd be wary of using it if you are unsure on pronunciation and there are differing opinions but that is personal to me

I love Ivo (eye-vo).

Ivor (eye-vuh) I don't like at all.

Ivo (eye-vo) I really like.

AFAIK Ivo can be pronounced both ways. It is definitely ee-vo in eastern Europe.

I don't know any of either name.

I would say Eye-vore with a very rolled r, but this may be due to DS' much missed toddler obsession with Ivor the Engine

Would you object to engine associations?

Ps if you don't know Ivor the Engine maybe watch it before deciding - one of the greatest 70s children's animations and I would personally be perfectly happy to name a child after said steam engine

I'd go for Idris the dragon Jennifersrabbit

Oh yes Idris would be an even better name!

but we may be diverting the thread slightly...

Pronounced EE-vo:

when i lived in a student house of girls we had a neighbour called Ivor - nicknamed "Iva Biggun"...!

I like both :) Ivor was on my list but dp says no, I would say it Eye va.
I've met one Ivo pronounced Eye vo.

Go for it!

I love Ivo - I've also heard it pronounced as Eye Vo

In St Ives (Cambs) there is a school called the Ivo and they pronouce it Eye-vo...

Sorry it is St Ivo... my memory is terrible. but still.

Any men I have ever met called Ivo pronounced it 'ee-vo'. I don't like 'eye-vo' at all.

I love Ivo (eye-vo). We can't use it because a good friend has a Welsh Ifor!
