How would you pronounce....

[franktheskank]

Ivor?

Eye vor

To rhyme with diver

Eyevor

Eye vor. Like ivor the engine

Eye vor- like the engine.

Eye-vur
as in I've a ...
Ivor could have a sister called Iona but this would be best if your surname could also be a noun e.g. Castle, Forest, Gunn, Wood, Woodcock, Hill.

Eye-vor

My friend is called Ivar as his parents preferred Eye-va

Eye vur - Without emphasis on either syllable. I'm Irish if that matters.

It also doesn't sound like "I've a..." in my accent as I pronounce the R.

Ivor and Iona are excellent boy/girl twin names (only half joking)

I'd say 'I've a' but in a rhotic accent it would presumably be Ivorr or approximately Ivurr.

Eye-vur

I only ask as I have a son named Ivor and we pronounce it I've a, but other say I've or, which is fine and what I expected, as I thought there was two ways to pronounce it, but is it only I've a if it's spelled Ivar which is The Swedish version I think.

Worried I've spelled my sons name wrong for the last 5 years!!!!

Ivor is sometimes pronounced Iv-orr (I like the I in big, orr like in lorry) in Wales. This may be because the welsh name Ifor was given to a baby boy but registered as Ivor, the anglicised form.
Ivor is usually pronounced like in Ivor the Engine.

Think it just depends on accent OP - some people would pronounce the R at the end of a word and others not. Not so much two different versions of the same name, if that makes any sense.

is it only I've a if it's spelled Ivar which is The Swedish version I think.

I don't think so, OP. Ivar is pronounced Ee-var, whereas Ivor in Britain has the "eye" sound, not the "ee" sound.

Ok didn't know that, that's ok then. Suppose it's too late to change anything now anyway
