ArchivesRe: Prounounciations of Yvonne
in reply to a message by ymobley
Other information?
Well, the pronunciation ee-VON is French and is the original pronunciation. Ya-von is American and less common and originated with people who didn't know how to pronunce Yvonne properly.
I've known enough Ya-vonnes that it's not a new habit, though.
