Lir / Ler / Llyr
I watched The Last Unicorn (based on a wonderful novel by Peter S. Beagle) and I am now drawn to the name Llry.
What are your thoughts on Lir / Ler / Llyr ? Which spelling is most aesthetic?

I like Lir as it sounds light and airy, while Llyr is also nice because it sounds regal.

I dislike that it's a homophone of leer. My favourite spoiling is either Lir or Llyr - the former feels lighter and effervescent, while the latter is archaic and regal.

I can't help but think "Lrrr, ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8". And with a long "ee" in the middle it sounds like the verb "leer" which also isn't super appealing. But I think spelled Lir it has the potential to grow on me.
