What happened to ‘Signed’?

Been here a while now so no need. Does his name rhyme? Is it Ay-von Gay-son?

Not sure how to spell it phonetically but from what I’ve heard on podcasts featuring some France-based football writers, it’s like Devon (but without the D) followed by Gesson, all said in your sexiest French accent. So it does kind of rhyme, but not quite in the way you suggested.

[eye digress]

With the double 'n', I'd expect the second vowel of Evann to be a proper 'a' (as in 'van') rather than a schwa.

I thought the second "n" was just telling you to pronounce the penultimate one? Didn't know it affected the vowel sound. Where's Bad English when you need him?
