How would you pronounce Ewan? Serious contender if we have another boy. I've posted this question elsewhere and am getting some interesting (and mixed) results. I can't get the poll option to work so we'll do this the old-fashioned way: Ew-an, Yoo-an, E-wan, or something else?
YOU-en. But I've seen it before so that helps me. I would think EH-wen if I hadn't, but that's just me. I do love the name! But I agree with PP that some people might mistake it for Evan. It won't be a big deal, and I'm sure lots of people are familiar with it. But you and he might have to explain it to some peope once in a while.

And seriously, I call BS on anyone who hasn't heard of Ewan McGregor. He's not a D-list celebrity or anything. He was in Star Wars, which most people have at least heard of, as well as Moulin Rouge and Trainspotting, which is going to hit a wide range of audiences.
Re: How would you pronounce this name?
First syllable is "Yoo". I like it.
I have no idea how to pronounce this. I am not familiar with this name so I would think it was a typo for Evan.
To answer your question, I pronounced it all the three ways you listed.

I had never heard this name aloud before, so I said E-won in my head... which reminded me of Ewoks.
But now from reading everyone else's responses, I know the correct pronunciation.
YOU en
I like it.
i love ian! no regrets
Yoo-en
Sorry for the period; mobile site doesn't allow dashes because it's stupid!
You-an. Love this name. Evan Mcgregor is one of my celeb crushes.
MJ, don't regret using Ian, it's also a great name!
Yoo-an.
