Well, there's Verna already, so I suppose it's like Verna with the pronoun I in front. The Iv- from Ivy, and then Erna.I don't like Ivy at all, and I don't much like Verna, so Iverna never stood a chance.

I would pronounce it ee-VERN-nah.
I don't hate it, it made me think of Hibernia. I actually thought it was an old name for a country/region.

i-VƏR-nə. I hate it, it sounds like it honours an Ives and a Vernon, and I don't like either of these names.

ee-VUR-na. It's not my style but I don't particularly dislike it either. My immediate mental image was an elderly woman from the Deep South and I'm having trouble imagining it on someone younger.
