Well, I suppose those people were not native French speakers. Because in French
Yvonne /i'vOn/ and Ivan /i'va~/ sound much too different to allow such
reinterpretation.

                                   correct! :)

If you want a surname looking like yours, I'd suggest Jeanne /'Zan/. The most
well known of them is no less than Jeanne d'Arc, so the image carried by such a
name is quite good (at least in France).

I have a list of first names at home. If you want and can wait until Monday :),
I will look for some nice surnames.

Christophe.
