I like the name Evonn.

Since you are eliminating the silent E, the O turns into a short sound. An E at the end of a word means to elongate the prior vowel like Rid vs. Ride or Ton vs. Tone. So, phonetically it's pronounced ev-von similar to Avon. It's a French boy's name, I think. Pretty cool name.
Reply:It's normally spelled Yvonne, and I think that is a beautiful name that you don't see very often. Shortening it to Yvon, I'm not so big on...Yvonne is a beautiful name and shouldn't be chopped short.

I think Yvon is popular for french guys, don't really like it for a boy though!





For a girl, it's ok, kind of dated. It reminds me of a girl with an afro in the 70's.
