What do you think of these? These may be considered "older" names (70+):

Inez - (eye-nez)
Weldon
Eveyonne - pronounced like one might say Yvonne (ee-vawn)

I pronounced eveyonne like evian (the WATERBOTTLE) at first glance, just fyi...

Inez - I prefer it pronounced ee-nez.
Weldon - sounds a bit like a meek animal cartoon character (maybe a squirrel with glasses), but I think it could be a cute middle name with something a bit stronger for the first.
Eveyonne - feels like it has too many letters and is poised to be a new kree8ive spelling. I want to pronounce it Ee-vee-awn, which isn't the intended pronunciation.

Weldon was my grandfather's name who passed away this year. I always did like it, even though he NEVER went by it. I was thinking of possibly using it as a middle name, since it does sound a little too "old" for a first.

huh.. I like Inez... always have. Wouldn't name a kid that, but its' ag ood older name.

It's so weird to me to see Yvonne pronounced Ee-vawn.. I have an aunt Yvonne and it's prnounced WHY-Vawn... Oddness of my family, I swear. lol.

I hate Inez.
I think Weldon is okay.
Eveyonne LOOKS like everyone gone wrong. But I do like Yvonne.

I don't like any of those names, to be really honest. :\

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

I feel the same way. They all make me do a double take.

That's what I thought, too, until I saw someone ask her how to pronounce it. :)

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

Aw, that sounds sweet! :)

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

Eveyonne really did have me baffled for a while. XD

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

I wonder what are the origins of Inez? Hmm.

*nods at Eveyonne*

About 5 years ago, Inez suddenly became very popular here. I like it pronounced EE-nez.
Weldon makes me think of Faye Weldon which is good...but it's too surname-y too use, IMO.
I really dislike that last one.

Eveyonne is 'everyone' to me, sorry! :D I honestly don't see how it could be as Yvonne. Maybe Evie-onne..but it's messy!!

Inez (or Ines) is a variant of Agnes in hispanic countries, it's not an old name there :)

Weldon sounds very grandpa who likes scotch and a game of bridge.

Eveyonne- that cannot by any stretch of the imagination be pronounced like Yvonne. Absolutely not. Creative spellings are bad, creative spellings with pronunciations that make no sense are worse.

I love the name Inez, but pronounced ee-NEZ.

I have never considered Weldon as a first name. It was the last name of one of the two boys I had a huge crush on in kindergarten. I'm not sure I've ever seen it elsewhere. It makes for a very interesting first name, though.

I guessed the proper pronunciation on Eveyonne, but I don't really like the name, and I definitely don't like that spelling of it.
