Eben

[Fluffsnuts]

How would you naturally pronounce Eben?

Eb- en (as in like it's short for Ebenezer)

Or Ee- Ben

Or Eeb- en

Sorry but I would just assume a misspelling of eDen.

Where is it from?

Eeb-en. My friend has one!

I also thought it was a mispelling of Eden

But I'd pronounce it however you told me to. Ee-ben, if I'm going on the assumption it's a variant/mispelling of Eden.

My first thought on seeing the title was a shortening of Ebenezer, so Eb-en. I've never seen Eben as a name in its own right before, though.

I'd have said Eh-ben I think.

Eb-en from that Sublime track

I'd say it like Eden, with a B, so Eeb-en

Ee-ben

He was a king a long long time ago! A very old English name.

Ebben

I'd say it like Eden but with a B, I haven't heard of it before so it does sound a bit clumsy

What?

Ay-ben. As it means flat/level/even in German.

I wouldn't pronounce it any way I'd think it was a spelling mistake as it's neither a recognisable word or a name

I know one and it is pronounced as in Ebenezer, (but is a Hebrew name in its own right, not a shortening of it).

I'd say Eeben, and I'd assume he was Arabic and that this was some odd misspelling of Ibn ("son of").

Eb-ben.

I'd say Eb-ben.

My favourite university lecturer had a son named Eben who he sometimes talked about, who later invented the Raspberry Pi computer. It makes me think of him!

I would say ee Ben as I also saw it as a misspelling of Eden. I've never heard of it.

EEyuh-ben. It's an Afrikaans name.

I'd say Ay-ben too. I've never heard the name before, but I quite like it.

I know one - pronounced eh-ben. Fantastic name, it really suits him.

I'd pronounce it ee-Ben and would also assume it was a typo ofEden! Haven't heard of the King and it does seem a bit awkward and clunky.

I wouldn't, it does sound natural.
