User Comments about the name Devon
Comment left Aug 14, 2008: "My name is Devon too! And yes a lot of people assume that I am a guy and pronounce it wrong as well. When I was younger I hated it because it was not a common name. However, now that I am older I have come to love having a name that I don't share with many other people. I have met a couple other girls and guys with the same name through out the years though. It's a great name!" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Nov 18, 2007: "I used to dislike it as my name but I've learned to love it, as it's so unique! But often people think it's for a guy, though I'd met plenty of other girl Devons(they all spell it with an "O") and only one boy Devin(guys apparently usually spell it with an "I"). I don't think there's a right or wrong with a name personally. I love mine so there! =P" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Aug 19, 2007: "I have never met another girl named Devon before. When people hear my name, they usually say "Isn't that a boys name?" Even though my parents have always told me 'on' is the girl's spelling and 'in' is the boys, I still see boys who have the 'on' ending." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 19, 2007: "My grandaughter's name. Mispronounced most of the time. Should be pronounced Devun but usually is pronounced De Vaughn. Devon is female and normally her name will be misspelled because people think it is a male name spelled the way it is." (Report as inappropriate)
