The name ?Yvor? is a variant of the Scandinavian name ?Ingvar?
(eng-var). Another variant of the name is Ivor (ee-vor). It is logical
then that the name Yvor is most likely pronounced (ee-vor). The
surname ?Winters? is pronounced (in English) (wen-terz) unless of
course you prefer the Scandinavian pronunciation, (ven-turz).
