A family member is named Yvonne. She prefers it pronounced "Yavonne" while most say "Evonne". How do you pronounce it?

The girl's name Yvonne \yv(on)-ne\ is pronounced ee-VAHN. It is of French and Old German origin, and its meaning is "yew wood". Feminine variant of Yves, a saint's name, and Ivo. Since yew wood was used for bows, Ivo may have been an occupational name meaning "archer". Tennis star Evonne Goolagong; actress Yvonne DeCarlo.
Yvonne has 7 variant forms: Eevonne, Evonne, Ivonne, Yevette, Yvetta, Yvette and Yvonna.

I've always pronounced it the same as your cousin - Yavonne.
