Dev of Manu

We can't decide between the boy names: Manu & Dev.

Manu means 2nd son and Dev means god.
I'm expecting our 2nd son.. still, I'm a little afraid that Manu will be pronounced as mannoe.

    I think Manu is more beautiful than Dev. Manu seems a bit more friendly to me. I've never heard the name before, but I wouldn't pronounce it as Mannoe... There's only one 'n' after all.

    I wouldn't pronounce Manu as Mannoe either. I definitely prefer Manu. Dev doesn't really sound like a name to me; it sounds a bit off.

    Agreed with the previous replies.

    How do you want to pronounce Manu? MAAnu or MaNOE? Both are lovely! It's a cool name with a beautiful meaning, and it's so funny that it means "second son"! I find Dev special, but not as pretty as Manu!

    Thanks for your replies! We also find Manu a bit more likable, and Dev a bit cooler... but maybe it sounds a bit harsh..
    We want to pronounce Manu as
    Ma-noe
    So there's an 80% chance it'll be Manu!
