Bon Iver is pronounced like "Bonny vair"

The other two are just phonetic. Nee-yongo and Della-veen


Phonetic - really? Delavagnine is hardly phonetic in the English language! Unless it's pronounced Della-VAG-nine. . .


Yeah, Delevingne isn't phonetically pronounced at all in English. Della-ving-nee? Della-vin-in-in? That extra -gne at the end sort of throw things off.


Yeah I would have said Dell-a-va-NYEEN, emphasis on the last syllable (like Agnes in French is Ah-nyes), but I have never heard this name before so I don't know.
