How would you pronounce

[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!

Avvuh line

Av-a-line
(As in the programme Bread). Never heard it said any other way.

@MeredithGreyishblue

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

Me too but thought I'd better not put it on this thread!

There were who actresses who played Avaline. One is now in Corrie. (Brian's ladyfriend - can't remember her name)

Ava is nicer, I think.

Ava-Lean
Which is probably wrong, but it's where my mind goes!

I don't like it or Ava.

@CaffiSaliMali

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'.

Ooo I wonder if it's the same book! Mine was a historical fiction one. The character met a sorry end though 😞

@Babynameq21 - if she threw herself out of a window and on to some railings to avoid being executed for cracking and killing her abusive husband, Piers, then I think we did indeed read the same book!

@RuthW

Av-a-line (As in the programme Bread). Never heard it said any other way.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard it used anywhere else!

Ava-leen.
But I also watched Bread so know Ava-line exists too.
It would never have crossed my mind there's an "Ayva" possibility as well tbh.

Ayvleen

Ayvlin- 2 syllables, Lancashire accent
