I'd much prefer Avner. Avnir makes me think it's some sort of French -ir verb. Which makes me want to conjugate it. That's probably not a good thing if it's someone's name. Plus, because of this association, I would pronounce Avnir av-NEER. Avner, on the other hand, would be, AV-ner.

Unfortunately, it looks too much like a French -ir verb too me (just a taste of my nerdiness for you).

Haha, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of that!

I agree about spelling it Avner. It's just that the first time I saw it was in the movie Munich and his name was Avnir

Would this be prn. Av-NEER, with a sort of Arabic prn. to it? I prefer Avnir to Abner for sure. But it is still very much nms.

It doesn't look like a name to me, I can't say I like it.
