[edit] Comment moved from talk page

Ivo is NOT a diminutive form of Ivan in any language!! It is common in France as Yves, in England as Ivor, its meaning is a tree used to make archbows. Please correct this obvious mistake. Thanks

Pretty sure the comment above was from an anoynomus user.. and not sure how to use the spiffy link thing that is added to other unsigned comments..

As for the topic at hand I do know someone who uses Ivo as short for Ivan But not sure if that is proper or not.. EnsRedShirt 05:17, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Ivo is NOT diminutive of IVAN. At most, it is diminutive of Ivailo in Bulgarian, not IVAN. Ivan's diminutive is Vanko, Vanchko, Vanka. As stated above, please correct this obvious mistake. Thanks.

[edit] Common?

Ivo is a "common" name? John is common, Ivo, IMHO, is not. --ukexpat 16:36, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
