Help[Opinions] Re: Ives
in reply to a message by Finch
No. Ives would be pronounced to rhyme with knives or wives, because most Americans are familiar with the Currier and Ives artwork, Burl Ive's music, and the little riddle about as I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives.
Yves would be somewhat better because Yves St. Laurent is familiar to lots of Americans, however it would sound like Eve.
I'd advise against it.
