Opinion on pronunciation?

BillieB123

We've chosen Avelyn for our daughter but would love opinions on pronunciation.
This is our definite choice and I'm sure it's not everyone's style, which is fine. Just curious on preferred pronunciation.

Thanks!

Av-ah-lynn....av-ah, like you'd say avalanche

Thank you

I'm reading it with a long A up front. Like Ava with Lynn tacked on.

Ava-lynn

Thank you. We are on the fence because Ava is so popular. I've loved the name for so long and we finally get to use it. I typically pronounced it with a long A but thought it may get us away from the Ava popularity if it's pronounced Ave like avelanche. I appreciate the feedback, thank you.

Av-ah-lynn is what I thought as well.

The first thing that popped into my head was Æve-lyn, with a hard A like Aviary.

I know a little Avelyn and this is how she pronounces it.

I would also pronounce it ava like avenue and Lynn. I agree with pp that I prefer Aveline. Either way though I wouldn't confuse it with Ava.

My first guess is Evelyn with a short A at the beginning.

Avah lynn here too but could be bc it reminds me of avalon which i was going to name my daughter

I think I posted to you once, but I have an Avalyn, pronounced Ava-lyn. (We call her Ava mostly.) We get Av-uh-lin (like avalanche). Pretty name

==N==

Ave (like wave) - Lynn
