I'd have said "Avva-line" too. (Like 'Have a' without the 'h', then line like washing line).

But I agree with speakout re having to ask Smile

Av aline

  1. Ava-line

I have a lovely niece called Avalon.

leavesthataregreen · 26/09/2021 23:08

AV-uh-LINE. Like 'Have a line' with the aitch dropped.

  1. Again because i grew up on Bread.

"avva line" as in "Can I avva line of coke?"

Sorry, that's the first thing that came to mind 😂

As a name, there's something... Wrong about it. It just doesn't seem to work in my brain at all. What about Adeline?

Av - eh - leen

But I don't know anyone called this so I'm just guessing

Bimblybomeyelash · 27/09/2021 08:02

Av i lyn

dorothygaleandtoto · 27/09/2021 08:23

A-veh-lin

Synchrony · 27/09/2021 08:50

Av-a-line to rhyme with Have-a-line would be my first guess but wouldn't be surprised by the others.

CaffiSaliMali · 27/09/2021 12:49

I also read the name in a book as a teenager. I've always pronounced it 'Av-uh-leen' but the uh is subtle, so it's sort of a cross between Av-uh-leen and Av-leen.

I love the name but DH vetoed it as be thinks it sounds too close to 'have a lean'.

fuzzymoomin · 27/09/2021 13:00

Avve-lyn

But, the more I pronounce it, the more it sounds like decongestant
