Baby Names
Lehan or Lihan
AnonymousGuest ·
We're thinking of Lehan as a boy's name. We think it sounds sweet, with a Dutch pronunciation but also nice in English. We're torn between Lehan and Lihan. I don't know anyone with this name and I'm really curious what others think! Would love to hear your thoughts!

I think Lihan sounds very Chinese, so I'd only use it if it's a Chinese name for a Chinese baby. -

Congratulations! I’d go with Lehan, but pronounce it in English. In Dutch it doesn’t roll off the tongue as easily, I think.
Have you also considered Levan, Livan, or Levin, Lovan? I find those nicer and they cause fewer problems.
But hey, who am I
Good luck! -

@Rose, when I Google 'Lihan' I also mostly see Chinese results. So you've got a point there. Thanks for your reply!
@Saar, thanks for your reply. Nice alternatives, hard choice! Haha choices choices -

Lihan does sound quite specific. Lehan seems calmer to me, but be careful that it doesn't sound like Leah when you call it out loud. I understand that the choice is difficult. Sometimes you only find out what sounds best when you try it out a few times. Good luck with the rest.
