Help[Opinions] Leolin
How would you pronounce Leolin? LEE-oh-lin? LAY-oh-lin? Lee-OH-lin? Some other way? Those are the three I've encountered on other name sites so far. What do you think?
Edit: thanks for the input, everyone. Looks like there's quite a difference of opinion here too! :)

By instinct I would say LAY-oh-lin, but I think Welsh names are stressed on the second-to-last syllable, so lee-OH-lin should be correct.
I think it sounds like lanolin.

Since it's influenced by Latin but supposed to be a variant of Llywelyn, I'd pronounce it Lay-OH-lin. I don't like the way it looks. The sound isn't bad no matter which way it's said, but I much much prefer Llywelyn.

Lee-OH-lin, I guess. It sounds like some kind of oily ingredient in lotion. Like lanolin but greasier.

I tend to say LEO-lin kind of like Violin except with leo at the start. So then it sort of ends up as two syllables not three. I'm sure there are a couple more ways. :)
