<blockquote>The ease with which I can confuse a fellow english speaker by saying my name is "Yves with a Q" alone I'm sure does it.</blockquote>
<p>Personally, I'd just assume that meant your name was spelled "Yvesq" (or possibly "Yveq"), which, given my understanding of French phonetics would probably be pronounced exactly the same as "Yves", since q is widely regarded as a consonant, and it has been my observation that consonants on the end of a word in French generally don't appear to have much if anything to do with the pronunciation. Indeed, I'd expect "Yvesailles" to be pronounced the same way as well.</p>
<p>But, of course, I don't actually speak French, so maybe I'm just a confused English-speaker.</p>
