Davon vs. Davin vs. Dayven
I want the name to be pronounced "DAY-ven" like David but with an "n". But I was wondering how it should be spelled. Would Davon be prn "dah-VON" and Davin "DAH-vin"? ... I’m confused, lol. Sometimes I think Dayven is the only way it would be pronounced properly when read but I wonder if that looks too funny... thanks for the input in advance!!

I think it would have to be Dayven...maybe Daivin? I love the name Davin pronounced like Dah-vin.

Davin looks like it rhymes with Gavin. Dayven is the only way to get the pronunciation you’re looking for IMO, but I also think it looks made-up, trendy, and girly. Sorry. GL!!

Hmm.. thanks everyone.
What about Dayvon? Does that look more masculine? Or would people pronounce it "Day-VON"?? Ahh so much work with just one little name! lol

The ONLY one that will be pronounced that way is Dayven, otherwise it will be prouneced like Devin/Devon but with a A sound not with an AY sound but with a a sound. Your childs name will ALWAYS be mis-pronounced if it spelt like the first two.

I know some Davins and they pronounce it like Gavin. Davon will definitely be pronounced Da-vahn. Dayven is the only way to go if you don’t want pronunciation issues. You may want to rethink this. It’s not too great anyway.

Almost any name with a "Y" in the middle looks girlie to me. I have a guy friend named Shayne...how girlie is that? If you insist on the name, spell in Davin, and your kid will have to put up with some mispronunciations. GL.
