I really enjoy both Yvette and Yvonne (which are both feminine forms of the same French masculine name, Yves). Usually, I prefer Yvonne, though I think Yvette is a bit more familiar / practical.

One of the teachers at school, a new graduate she's 21, nice name

I'm not sure where you're located, but a 40something Yvette is certainly rare in my part of the world! Yvette is more of a "grandma" or baby boomer name to me.

I like Yvette too. Yvonne is sombre and glamorous, while Yvette is snappy and chic.
