Among African Americans, the "Le" beginning symbol may be feminine or masculine. "Le" (pronounced like the name "Lee") isn't nearly as popular a sound preference as "La". With regard to "von", a very popular contemporary name for African American boys (since the 1990s) is "Davon" (DaVon; Davaughn". In contrast to the usually pronunciation of the letter a (ah), the "a" in Davon is pronounced to rhyme with the word "day". In keeping with African American fondness for repeat nicknames, "Day Day" is the usual nickname for the male name "Davon".

By the way, among Africa Americans, "Devon" (with "De" pronounced to rhyme with the word "he") is much less often given as a name than "Davon" but if I saw it on the roll of a predominately African American class room, I'd guess that that name belonged to a boy and not a girl.

As you probably can gather from my posting on this thread and from my Cocojams.com website, I love studying names. The only subject that I'm interested in more than name origins and meanings is children's playground rhymes. And sometimes children's rhymes takes a backseat to name meanings.
