How would you pronounce...

How would you pronounce Liev. I posted recently asking opinions on Lev which I like as well. What do you prefer? Middle mame suggestions are welcome but I think I have one

I pronounce it lee-ev. I think both are handsome. I don’t have a favorite.

I always thought it was like "leave" (Liev Schreiber) and I thought it was cool. I now know the pronunciation of his name is "lee-ehv" and I feel impartial about it.

Here is an interesting article about this same debate (Lev or Liev)!

I thought it was pronounced Leave, as well. In fact I thought that's how I heard Liev Schreiber's name pronounced, but I guess they could have been saying it wrong too? I don't know! lol

[gianfranca]

I would pronounce as "Leave"

[alchemicallypurplefairy]

I would pronounce it like "leave."

[quirkflower]

I would pronounce it like "leave" as well, though I'm not sure that's correct. I prefer Lev! Or, even better, Zev. I also like Zevey for a girl (I know sisters named Becca and Zevey).

Lev is "LEH-v"
Liev is "Lee-EHV"

I love the name Lev Both are handsome.
