I know I have posted many times in the past about the name Javan. It's the name DH and I have decided on. We really like it. And we like this spelling. It's the original spelling.

Looking at the name do you automatically know to pronounce it Jay-ven? That is how it is pronounced. But some people I know tell me it looks like Juh-vawn. And I don't like that. I don't want to have to correct people forever haha. Then I thought about spelling it Jayven. But I just like original spellings better.

Obviously some people will pronounce the name wrong over time. But do you think in general people will know how to pronoune the name? When I first seen this name I pronounced it correctly. Then in the BtN database it tells you how it is pronounced as well. But I just thought it was a given people would know how to pronunce it.

So when you seen Javan. Does it look more like jay-ven or juh-vawn? I understand that location has a big part in how to say a name. I guess I am just hoping the people around me would get it right lol. I don't want the name I chose to be a pain haha. Thanks!
