How do you pronounce John Ipe?

"John Ipe" is likely a name, and there are two ways to pronounce it, depending on the origin of the name:

1. "John Ipe" (with a hard "p" sound): This pronunciation assumes the "Ipe" portion of the name is pronounced like the wood species, Ipe, which is pronounced with a hard "p" sound (like "pee").

2. "John Eep" (with a softer "p" sound): This pronunciation assumes the "Ipe" portion of the name is pronounced like the Greek word ipe, meaning "horse." In this case, the "p" would be pronounced with a softer sound, similar to the "p" in "happy".

To be sure of the correct pronunciation, you'll need to ask the person whose name it is, or find information about the name's origin.
