With a slightly comic meaning, Ivor has been a choice of name for many popular fictional characters used by authors P.G Woodhouse. A notable personality with this name is 'Ivor Novello, who is a popular songwriter and Welsh actor hailing from England. Oftentimes the name is pronounced as 'Ivo', which might serve as a reminder of the famous car nickname for 'Lotus Evora'. Even though the Welsh name is fairly popular in the United Kingdom, the parents from the United States have not been very considerate of this name for their baby boys, thus showing a steady decline in the usage of this name over the past few years. However, Ivor, being a widely used masculine name, statistics also show its use for naming baby girls, thus making it a gender-neutral name.
