It's good, isn't it.
There's also Ivo, which I've seen in books (British) but never in real life.

I also like Ivo. I'm extremely fond of the pianist Ivo Pogorelich.

His name is pronounced 'EE-vo' . Just thought I’d mention it, since I assume that you pronounce Ivor the English way with ‘ay’.

Yes, I like that pronunciation. I hear the way it is pronounced over the radio. :)

Do you also pronounce Ivor with an 'ee'? I's the only way I like it.
