Old fashioned, and heavily associated with Bretagne, which a lot of people in France out of the region don't seem to like, even if it has only minor connections to it. I'd prefer it linked to get Jean-Yves to remove that annoying association from strangers. But take my opinion lightly as I'm probably biased as a Breton person.

Once you get used to the pronunciation of the name, you'll find it's very good. Don't know where people get the "mysterious" connotations from however.

At first I thought this was pronounced Yuh-ves. I like the EEV pronunciation though, it's more mysterious.

Does not sound how it looks in English, and it sounds like the girl name Eve, even though it’s for boys.

At first glance I thought it was pronounced IV-ves ('I' sounding like the letter 'I' in 'internet' and 'ves' rhyming with the word 'mess'.). I did not expect it to be said as "Eve", lol. It doesn't sound that bad for a guy I guess. I love how the letters look together and the meaning is actually quite nice. =)

In America, this would easily get mispronounced. But ignoring that fact and just focusing on the pronunciation, I like this name. Probably because it sounds like eve, which I like as well. Although... I know everyone says it's a boy's name, but I just can't imagine it on a boy. Probably because the name eve is used for girls.

Yves Klein was a French artist, and a leading figure in the Nouveau Réalisme movement. He patented the color known as International Klein Blue, which looks similar to the color of lapis lazuli.
He's actually one of my favorite artists, and seeing a display of his work at a young age really turned me on to the world of art. He's a huge inspiration for me ^_^

I like the fact that it is pronounced eve and a boy's name at the same time. If I had a son name Yves, I'd have a desire to nickname him Evie but I wouldn't be sure how to spell it. Overall, it's a great name. Very French and classical.
