Okay...you've got the "ee" sound in Europe, but don't pronounce the "s", so It's just like Yves. Thank you. :)

Not in English. That's how Yves is pronounced.Unless every time I've heard it said has been incorrect and it doesn't follow English phonetics for some reason. Both of which are possible!

I am European, the two people I know with this name are called EEV, but like I said, it's not English speaking where I'm from.

Ah, didn't realize you weren't in an English speaking area. :)Bear brought up a good point with the Mother Goose Rhyme, too. I forgot about that one, I'd just heard people say Ives referring to the saint or the lotion/soap.
