I love Ivan. I pronounce it EYE-van, but I like the Russian pronunciation too. The former would go over better outside of Eastern Europe, though, because of the latter's similarity to Yvonne. I never really got the appeal of Ivo. It always seemed kind of incomplete to me. I'm pronouncing it EE-vo. I'd use Ivan as it is, and if I did use a nn, it would be Vanya instead of Ivo.
