Ava-line

I’d want to say it as “avva - lyne”, but might correct myself to “avva - leen.”

ISeeTheLight · 26/09/2021 21:26

Ayve-leen.
Sounds like a made up name though. There's a French name Eveline which is pronounced similarly.

MonkeyPuddle · 26/09/2021 21:26

Avvie leen.

GemmaRuby · 26/09/2021 21:28

Vaseline was my first thought too.

Avver line. Kind of like Caroline sound.

Not 'line' at the end.

I love it though, never heard of it before!

Avva-Line. Again like the Bread character

Spikeyplants · 26/09/2021 21:42

Av (like have) then e- line.

Same as its spelt. Av-e-line?

‘Ave ah line which in my accent would say have a line

bringbackfonzi · 26/09/2021 21:48

4, as in 'our Avuh-line'

PattyPan · 26/09/2021 21:49

4. Probably in a Liverpool accent.
Exactly this!
Xanadu58 · 26/09/2021 21:58

Avva line

Babynameq21 · 26/09/2021 21:59

As I thought - so many different opinions! I don't know it from Bread (showing my age!).

I first saw it in a book many years ago and had never heard of it so in my head it's pronounced AYVE-LIN (shortened to Ava) as that's how I read it at the time BUT I've since looked it up and apparently it is more like avva-lin which I'm not so much a fan of.

Wondering if I can just choose how its pronounced BUT also don't want to subject baby to a life of people pronouncing their name wrong so i think regretfully its a no-go!
