Since I am not familiar with this name, my first impulse is to say "cave-an" and I think of a cave.

I don't have any opinion about Cavan, I would just assume that it was an unusal English or Irish name.

- Racial? She is Swedish!
- Maybe he called her Meatball.

I'd prn it so it rhymes with Gavin, but honestly, it reminds me of calves. I think of a cow calving, so...I guess my immediate association is with farming? :o)

I agree with Anyechka--I've seen it before and it rhymed with Gavin (KAV-an). The one little boy I actually knew with the name, instead of just seeing it in passing, spelled it Kavan. I never realized it was a real name, thought it was just a tryndee, made-up one. :b

My 9 year old (female) cousin is named this, after the town in Ireland where my aunt's mother's side of her family came from. The way we pronounce it, it sort of rhymes with Gavin. I don't think most of us were so hot on the name when my uncle and his wife announced it, but over time it's grown on us to the point where we no longer think it's weird, silly, or ridiculous. It's one of those names that I wouldn't use myself, but on the right person it can grow on you and seem not as bad as you originally thought it was.
