    Devyn- Dev-in

    Devon- Dev-on

    Two different names IMO. I prefer Devin. 

    BFP #1: 3.28.11 Dx w/ PIH @ 24w DS Born @ 36w: 11.7.11 6 Days in NICU
    BFP #2: 8.31.16 Dx w/ GD @ 28w DD Born @ 36w: 4.21.17

    I don't like Devyn because the v and the y run together and look like a W. Its confusing. 

    Devon or Devin, either is correct.

    Behindthename.com lists them all as legit spellings.  Personally, I would not choose the Devyn version because it looks ridiculous.

    I'd never seen that web page before, thanks for the headsup

    It actually makes me sad that "Devyn" doesn't HURT everyone's eyes.  *sigh*

    IMO, Devon or Devin.

    Devyn is just bad.

     

    I know a couple Devon/Devins and I've have seen a few more through their FB friends. Between them all, the girls are all Devon and the boys are all Devin.

    I've seen Devin and Devon... but pronounced differently.  I've never seen Devyn, but would imagine that's the same as Devin. 

     

    My thoughts exactly

    If it were me, I'd use Devin for a boy and Devon for a girl but that's only because I know one of each spelled those particular ways so that's how I associate. I like it for a girl better.

    Devyn offends my eyes too. I have known a girl who spelled it Devon and boys who spelled it both Devin and Devon.

    This.  If you are looking for Dev-in...I would spell it Devin...Devon looks like another name: Dev-on.

    I prefer Devin. Devon would have a slightly different pronunciation in my mind. Devyn is childish and trendy looking.

    Me three. And I know boys named Devin and Devon, and none of them say Dee-von for Devon.
