I've known only two.
The first was pronounced AVE-is (like the car rental company).
The second was AV-is (same sound as the word avid). She would glare severely at you if you mistakenly pronounced her name AVE-is. I don't know whether it matters, but this second Avis was from Texas -- maybe this pronunciation is more common there. Well, here -- I AM in Texas, but I knew this Avis in Colorado.
Anyway, I like the name well enough, but there might be confusion over pronunciation, especially because the name's not common.
