What do you think of Devon? Boy or girl? I prefer it for a girl but also like it for a boy. Would you spell it Devin or Devon?Do you know anyone with the name?Oh and do you pronounce it to rhyme with Kevin or do you put the accent on the second syllable? I always said DEV-in but this site says it can be de-VAWN.

I know a boy Devin and a girl Devon. I would probably spell it Devin for a boy. I pronounce it to rhyme with Kevin.

Devon - place name for a girl, IMO
Devin - boy name.I pronounce Devin to rhyme Kevin, but Devon rhymes heaven and Evan. Slight difference. I definitely don't like the second syllable stressed. It sounds wrong to me that way.

I say it as if it rhymes with Kevin.I prefer it on a boy with the spelling Devon, as in the place. I do know a few people of both genders with this name - and knowing them is why I can't warm up to the name, ha ha. Unfortunately, I don't have very good associations with this name, but the sound is nice.
