I really like the sound of the name [name]Weber[/name] for a boy. It’s [name]German[/name], pronounced VAY-ber (or, as a [name]Brit[/name], VAY-buh). What are your thoughts? Is it too “heavy”? Off-limits for all except [name]Max[/name] [name]Weber[/name]'s “fans”? Destined to be pronounced [name]WEBB[/name]-er forever? I can’t say I’m a huge fan of the spelling, but all obvious spellings (Veyber, Véber, Vayber) just look made up.
I do think it is destined to be [name]WEBB[/name]-er forever. I do like it a lot, but I have a huge thing for surnames. I actually prefer the [name]WEBB[/name]-er pronunciation, but I’m not sure how usable it is. It is very surnamey… people balk around me balk at surnamey choices like [name]Smith[/name], [name]Miller[/name], and [name]Whittaker[/name], which, to me, are all more accessible than [name]Weber[/name] is. Maybe it might work better as a MN? I’m not usually a fan of using surnamey choices as MNs because then it sounds like a double surname (like [name]Jack[/name] [name]Hudson[/name]-[name]Donahue[/name] as opposed to [name]Jack[/name] [name]Hudson[/name] [name]Donahue[/name]…), but if you love it enough that you don’t want to give it up, maybe that’s the best option. As much as I am instinctively drawn to it and do love it, I think it’d be more hassle than it was worth. 
Good luck!
I agree-- people in the US will pronounce it [name]Webb[/name]-er and I don’t really like the “v” spellings either. It should probably be used only as a mn.
I’m not in the US, but I’m fearing it would be the same in the UK. I guess it would come down to how many people know who [name]Max[/name] [name]Weber[/name] is… I will probably keep it firmly in the middle slot if it’s likely to be mispronounced, or comes across as pretentious (as many surnames of famous people in history do).
