HelpRe: Devereux
in reply to a message by Billina
I probably wouldn't think anything of it, sounds like a fairly normal surname, though Devereux (spelling in subject line) vs Devereaux (spelling in your post) might imply different pronunciations to me. Dev-ruh (seems possible with Devereux) and Dever-o (seems most likely from Devereaux) sound nice enough to me; Dever-oo sounds goofier, but then he could be called Rue, which I like. I guess the correct French way is Ev-ruh, but that seems least likely in the US.
"Dever-oh" seems in a category with Levante / Deandre / Declan or Darcy (f) / Chanel / Margeaux to me, vibe-wise, and if there's a specific pop culture reference, it goes over my head. "Dev-ruh" reminds me more of Devin and Ezra. "Dever-oo" reminds me of buckaroo and maybe Montague.

Whoops, I didn't even notice that. Thanks for pointing that out, lol.
There is a pop culture reference: Devereuax (with an 'a') was Blanche's surname, on "The Golden Girls". I'm surprised no one has mentioned it, yet.
