Yvette

My mother's name. My grandmother is French and named mom after a cousin. It means yew branch or archer, or little ivy depending on what book you look in. My grandparent's book says little ivy. Pronounced Evette. So many people say it wrong. Mom was called Betsy when she was in kindergarten because none of her classmates could say Yvette. She's been called Ah vet, Yuh vet, E veet. My niece was given Yvette as her middle name.
