What do you think of the name “Ives” for a boy?

Question

Pronounce “ I-Ves”

Answer

I don’t necessarily dislike the pronunciation, I just don’t think anyone will pronounce it right. If there’s some other way you could spell it to make the correct pronunciation more clear, it would be better, but spelled as Ives I agree that most people will think it’s like “lives” without the L

Answer

I would be inclined to pronounce it like the French name Yves (which is like Eve, which we think of as a female name here if that matters to you)

Answer

I voted that I liked it before I saw your pronunciation... are you saying it's pronounced eye-vess? Two syllables?
I would pronounce it ives, like lives without the L.

Answer

Think of the composer Charles Ives, his music is something different 😝

Answer

I know a little boy named Iver and he’s so cute. A little different than Ives. Might be one to consider also.
