ArchivesPro. of Avram and Devorah.
Are they pro. with a v sound, or a b sound?
I just read a bit down, and am wondering. If not, how did the B become the V?

I was a bit confused by the dot behind the pro.
So I think your question is: Why would someone name his child AVRAM or DEVORAH rather than Abram or Deborah?
In fact I have no idea who those parents are, but I guess they might be Jewish. They would take the names from their Hebrew bible. Back to the roots if you want to put it that way. I wonder whether this goes a far as to put the stress on the last syllable as well as it is in the Hebrew bible, where you find AvRAM and DvoRAH. I've never met anyone called AVRAM or DVORAH, but I'm pretty sure that if they were Israelis, they would pronounce it that way. Do you know anybody?

Actually the question is...
How is the name pronounced? pro. is a common abbreviation on the board.

Thanx! As you can see I am a new kid on the board.
I would suggest:
Ayv-ram (with the stress on the first syllable)
(Hebrew pronunciation: Ahv-rahm with the stress on the second syl.)
De-ve-re (like in DEntist - VE-ry - exploRER) or more likely:
De-ve-rah (stress in on the first syllable in both cases, so actually it is just like Deborah only with a V)
(Hebrew: Dvo-rah with the stress on the last syllable)
