[Babynameq21]

Aveline

(Without looking it up!)

1. Ayva-Lyn
2. Ayva-line
3. Ava-lyn
4. Ava-line
5. Ayve-lyn
6. Ayve-line
7. One I haven't thought of!

Ave - align
Like the Bread character - how could you not! It's a lovely name though it's not a negative association more a fondly remembered cultural reference

I think if you have to start a post discussing how to pronounce a baby's name then that highlights a lifetime of confusion, mispelling and having to correct others for that child. It is bothersome. I know that from experience.

I gave my children easy names with no ambiguity.

Number 4!

Av-ah-leen

Av-ah-line

@trumpisagit

Av eh Line

This

Aver line.
Like the character from bread.

Our Avva-LIIINE.

Ahv-eh-line

1. Ayva leen

Even though it wasn't about her, I always hear, "she is a TART!" after it!

Regretfully I agree! I'm actually quite conservative with baby names but I have loved this since I saw it in a book as a teenager so was hoping it would work - but doesn't look like it!

Ah-veh-leen for me

Avva- line

Rhymes with Have a line

If you want that pronunciation I would spell it Avelyn or Avelynne

My brain read it in a Liverpool accent and I couldn't work out why until the first poster said Bread.

I'm 37 and my dad was a big fan. I think I must be around the cut off for remembering it, as my younger brother always looks blank when me and Dad ask each other "where's me dinner?"

The first one could be an option! Not a fan of made up names usually though

😂

Ohh, it's such a lovely name though!

You can pronounce my name in different ways and I just respond to them all. If someone's asks me how I say it I tell them, it's no big deal!

I went to school with an Aveline! She pronounced it 'ava-leen' and had no problems as far as I knew.

Ava-leen

Avver-line

Like in Bread but you won’t be old enough to remember that.
I don’t really get your pronunciation options tbh.
The only other one would be avver-leen

@MeredithGreyishblue

Aver-Line as in Boswell. Or as in an offer of a narcotic!
