I adore Ivo, though I prefer Yvo, which looks/feels more mystical and medieval to me.

---

Ivo Balthazar is perfect.

Hate it. I have bad associations with it (although he spelled it Iwo) and I don't like it with August. The Iwo I knew had a sister named Liw (Liv). Ivo Benedict is the best combo.

I love Ivo and Yvo. Ivo Pogorelich is a wonderful Croation pianist whose recording of Bach's English Suites (my favorite piano music ever written) is something I listen to very often, especially the prelude from Suite No. 3 in G minor. Listening to him might enhance your love for Ivo.

I like Ivo "EYE-vo." Not too far out in English but I think it has a slightly affected punchiness. Like a mononym for a rock or pop star. I recall it being a mononym used by this guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivo_Watts-Russell ... if I were to use Ivo it would be inspired by that.

---

As a brother to August, both names seem hipster/bohemian. Not that that's bad though. August would be more classicky and aloof otherwise, and with Ivo it seems like a monthname. I think August and Ivor (similar prn) would be matchier.

---

Ivo Frederick and Ivo Raphael are nifty.

---

Ivo Alexander.

Ivo is pretty cool! I like it. I think I prefer the IE-vo pronunciation. August and Ivo make an awesome sibset! They go very well together, in my opinion. I like names with lots of vowels.

---

Ivo Benedict is by far my favorite but most of your combos are nice. Pairing Ivo with a longer middle name is a good idea.

Well, if you pronounce it IE-vo, it makes it even more East European to me. I don't particularly like names of this kind, but that's just my personal preference.
BUT August doesn't sound like it at all! Therefore I don't think it's a good match. August is also classy with a very noble touch to it. Ivo looks and sounds abbreviated and therefore rather modern.

I like Ivo, it's respectable and cute. I prefer Ivan myself, but that's mainly just because I adore the nn Van. Ivo is more refreshing and livelier than Ivan, though, so I'd probably be more excited to meet a little Ivo than an Ivan.

---

Usually I do prefer the German pronunciation with many names, but not so with Ivo. IE-vo is how I instinctively pronounce it, and I really don't care much for EE-vo. It sounds like a masculine form of Eva then, and for some reason that bothers me. I dunno. Plus, it makes me think of EVOs from the now cancelled show Generator Rex.

---

Anyway! I really like Ivo Bartholomew and Ivo Hercule (this one is especially great). Few other suggestions...

---

Ivo Conrad
Ivo Simeon
Ivo Roderic
Ivo Barnabas

Ivo is cute, I prefer Ivor though

---

I much prefer Ivo to August

---

Ivo Benedict is awesome (was watching Sherlock last night so in a very loving Benedict mood)

---

Ivo Frederick is also great

Super cool. Simple and slick. I'd prefer EE-vo, and I think most people would pronounce it that way at first glance to be honest. August is different because it's also an English word. Up to you, though!

---

I like Ivo Benedict best from those combos. Ivo Theodore is very nice too.

---

Ivo Willam
Ivo Gabriel
Ivo Forrest
Ivo Edward
Ivo Leopold
Ivo Kendrick
Ivo Philip

I'm not sure I've heard Ivo before, and pronounced IE-vo I like it! I don't like "EE-vo" as the link says it's pronounced. Sounds too close to "evil."

Ivo Bartholomew, swoon. Really the rest are meh, but I love that one. Ivo Elijah works well too, I guess.
