Does Lob rhyme with the word, "cob"?

I've been rolling it around since I saw your post earlier and I'm having a hard time hearing that sound as a name. I keep thinking of a tennis match.

Levi is nice. He sounds trustworthy and sensible to me. :)

Not exactly. Cop would be KAWP for me while Löb was said LUUB (German) and LOB (English) on TV. The 'o' sound is the same as in 'boat' or 'cone' for the English pronunciation if that helps.

Okay, Lob with a long "o" sound is definitely better; sounds more like a name than the way I was saying it. Of course, now my tennis match has been replaced by anatomy class. Sorry.

Don't be sorry, I think it's a fun way to look at it :)
