That's funny, I've never met anyone else who says Yvonne "Yuh-Vonne" instead of "E-vonne." My Grandma Yvonne pronounces her name the same way your grandmother does; she says it's because her parents didn't know the other way to say it.

That's probably the same deal with my grandmother. She's close to 80 and born in the midwest in an all-white town. Her mother probably saw it written and not said.

Close to 80? Check!
Midwest? Check!
All-white town? Check!

Are you sure we're not related? haha

Haha, who knows! Maybe our great grandmothers were friends!

I think it's just a very common name, in that generation. Add to the fact that my mom had an extremely common maiden name. In her high school there was another girl (can't remember if she was a couple years older or younger) with the name Tina Marie Smith.
