How do you say yavn's name?

[Someybody]

How do you say it? I say it like Yea-vin (yavin).

 

[Pirate-Emery]

Like Yavin, as in Yavin IV. Star Wars (Star Tours in particular). "Yah-vin"

 

[Someybody]

Same. But I posted it as yea vin. Sorry about the poll folks, it says yea-yin, but I ment yea-vin.

 

[CrAzyEm]

Yea-vin

i took me til about may to know how to pronouse it and i',m still not sure if im right lol

 

[PrincessJen09]

I always thought it was Ya von.

 

[Kasiks]

At the begining I could not pronounce it ... It looked for me like " i a V N "

now I would say yah-vin ( pronounced in english)

 

[WDWfan36]

It's yah vin.

 

[jasonpwns]

I thought it was

yea-ven

 

[ShadowKittyKat]

I don't really say the names of people on VMK out loud (fine!! I do, okay??), but I think it is 'yah-vin'.

 

[tolkien7]

Pirate-Emery is correct. Yavn has answered this question himself, and he wrote it out as Yah-vin.

 

[BellHop58]

I saw it like, Yah-Von

 

[Maleficent2]

here is how to pronounce it in Yavn own words......

It's like Yah-Vin

The short version of the story is that it's from that Star Wars planet Yavin. I had a poster from Star Tours and liked the name. Back in early Nintendo days you could only use 4 letters for a character name so I dropped the "i"

Yavn

There we have it. But I wanted to see what people thought...

 

[sassymom]

I was just wondering this myself just a few days ago. Thanks for the info. I though it was Van with the y being silent. Boy was I way off it isn't even Yvan it's Yavn.

oops sorry you just did not give an option for the correct way....and you asked how do you say it.... that is how.

There was a thread about this on another forum for VMK, with the same exact title (or one close to it) where people said it was yay-vin, though it was later confirmed it was pronounced yah-vin

I think Yavn confirmed that himself in post #12
