How to pronounce Avon-by-the-sea? (to live, company, to work)

[AurorainTarrytown]

Hi,
My friend pronounces Avon "Aaaahhhvon" Is that really how it's pronounced? Just curious!
Thanks

Thats the way I say it. But others say it the other way.

I say A-von. AAAvvvvon sounds snooty, figures JM pronounces it like that

I stand corrected. I misinterpeted(sp) the post. I'm with Tahiti.

I used to live there. It is Aaaaah-von, not A-von like that weird cosmetic company. Same as Britain.

Umm I say A-von (long A sound). Let them judge me.

It's ave-on, not Ayyy von like the cosmetics company or Ahhh von like the doctor says " say ahhhh."
