[Opinions] Names starting with Yv
I have a question. In English people tend to pronounce names beginning with Yv as Eve and then the rest of the name. However some of them have an alternate pronunciation. Here’s what I mean
Yvonne is either Eve-ON or uh-VON
Yvette is either Eve-ETT or uh-VET
The latter versions of the names begin with a schwa
So I’m guessing Yvelise doesn’t have to be said evil-LEASE
It could be shortened in English and sound a bit more like ivvuh-LEASE
So now it doesn’t really allude to the word evil.
Now the proper French pronunciation is totally different I know but same goes for Genevieve and Madeleine. Thoughts?
