    I have already looked it (Trevor) up on denshi jisho and it is pronounced either to re ba or to re va. I just want a confirmation that this is accurate. Also, for the latter (to re va) there was a small ‘a’ (I assume is similar to the small ya, yu, and yo?) forming that v sound along with another character- what is this? Thanks in advanced.

    トレバー or トレヴァー

    Japanese has no V-sound, so it’s usually represented with a B. ヴ is a ウ with a daikuten, used in katakana to represent the V as well. It’s kinda pronounced as “v” but some people just say “b” anyway. And yeah, the small ァ is used for changing the vowel sound.

    On a side note, I suggest you look into installing and learning some sort of IME, so you can type in Japanese. =)

    ヤニック, I’d say. Or ヤンニック?
