Where is the accent on this name? DEV-on-y? de-VON-y?

---

The first has kind of a nice sound, but the name looks too made-up for my taste. It feels like something a teenager would name their kid. If a feminine for Devon is needed, I guess I'd prefer Devonne, although I'm not wild about that, either.

I’ve never liked made-up names, but for some reason I can’t hate this. I wouldn’t use it personally, but it’s nice.

I much prefer Devyn and Devon. But, you know? Devony sounds unique and interesting, so I like that.

It's not by style but it makes sense. It would definitely be good for a character, and I could also see it being popular IRL.
It looks like a mashup but not a mashup of Devon and another name, more like a mashup of Devon and a whole name genre with that internal rhyme scheme (Bethany, Bellamy, Betony, Ebony, Kennedy, Delany, Melanie, Stephanie, Everley, Melody, etc.)

I like it. It's different. It would be perfect for a romance novel heroine.

Devony? Is it an adjective? Doesn't seem suitable to me. I know a man named Devon who carries it off quite well, but Devony, not really.

Don't like it
