Violet Ivory

[PlumRain]

Hi this is our chosen name, so I'm not looking for opinions on it.

How would you pronounce it? I've noticed that some say it (in my family) as Iv-ry and Vi-let, but some say it as Iv-o-ry and Vi-o-let.

Help!

I would pronounce both of them with three syllables, but no emphasis and quite a soft sound on the middle o (if that makes sense)

I-vor-ee!

Three syllables each.

Three syllables each

Three syllables.

But lots of English people speak an accent/dialect that will make it two- you'll have to be prepared to accept that.......

very pretty and unusual.

3 syllables each for me, but then I like to pronounce things properly and hate run-together words and phrases.

Vi-let Iv-or-y.

Sorry, meant to add, I love it. Pretty and unusual.

Lovely!

I really like your chosen name OP, lovely.
Three syllables.

my mother insists on saying Vi-o-let. I think she is right.

I say Violet more like Vire-lett and then
I-vor-EE

Why would you say Ivor-EE? Would you say that for elephant tusks?

Vio-Lut I-vor-i

Violet is two syllables where I live, whereas Ivory is three.

So it would be Vy-let Eye-vor-ee.
