Sorry to revive an old comment, but Vonny is such an adorable nickname

I love both this and Yvette. I agree with other comments here, that the description is unfair, as with many others on this site. I feel that some of them should be updated, to be more factual and descriptive, rather than rude and dismissive. Names like Fannie are apparently more usable than Yvonne, Julie or Sheryl??? I don't think so...! But if you went by these descriptions, that's what is being said. It's bizarre.

I have always heard it pronounced "e-von".

I LOVE this name. I always imagine a sophisticated, elegant, refined young woman. I don't know why it isn't more popular. I'm pregnant & find out the gender in a few weeks. If it's a girl, I'm proudly naming her Yvonne.

Completely agree! I have no idea where that description is coming from. I suppose they are suggested the name is dated, but that's a very offensive way to say hey it's not that trendy.
