Baby Names
Lyon or Revi
MarloesGuest ·
Boy's name: Lyon or Revi? I'm mainly second-guessing the pronunciation of Lyon—want to avoid it being too tricky/difficult, and worry it'll be pronounced like the English word "lion." What do you all think? And which name do you prefer? Thanks!

I don't quite understand from your description how you'd want Lyon to be pronounced?!
As Lie-jon
As Lai-jun (lion in English)
As Lie-jun
For the first one, I'd choose Leon, for the second Lion, and for the third Leon/Lyon.
I think the second one is the least beautiful, the first one the most beautiful.
I find Lyon/Leon more beautiful than Revi. -

I would pronounce Lyon like the French city. Like "lie-oh" roughly.
I think Revi is more beautiful. -

Neither of them is really my thing... I'd pronounce Lyon like the French city, but I'm not so fond of city names (Paris, ...). Revi doesn't have a nice sound to me and looks a bit weird written down too.
I think Levi is 100 times more beautiful. Or Lionel/Leon instead of Lyon!
Depending on how you want to pronounce Lyon: Lyo could also be a spelling variant. I think it looks much better that way! Then the association with the city disappears! -

I really like Lyon! It was also on my list, but my partner didn't like it enough, unfortunately. -

I don't find either name beautiful.
I'd go for Levi or Leon.
