Ga-VIN-chee or Jee-von-shee? This female and I were talking at work the other day and she kept pronouncing it as #1. I wanted so bad to correct her but didn't. This reminds me of when Puffy was saying black folks buy stuff they can't even pronounce calling Bvlgari bul-gary instead of BULL-ga-ree. Does it bother anyone else when people who are susposedly in the tax bracket to afford luxury items can't even pronounce them right?

Geeee Vonnn She

It's not silent in Givenchy. If it was pronoucned Jee-vonche, it would be spelt Givenche.

@BigTina...that's how you pronounce Yves St. Lauerent. The t is silent.

eta: And Diddy of ALL people, need not talk of anybody being able to afford goods they are far away fro pronouncing correctly.
