My son's name is Liev (duh) and as anyone who's watched movies will probably guess, we stole Liev Schreiber's name.  Anyhow, if you didn't know how to pronounce the name or had never seen it before, how would you pronounce it?

Lee-ev?

like "leave" as in leave the door closed.

I've never seen the name before...I don't even know the person you named him after.

LEE-EV.

My brain always reads it as Live, as in live your life.  But I know it's Lee-ev.

Lee-ev is correct   "Leave" is the most common incorrect way of saying it.  Liev Schriber complains of that....I wish I had known that before I named my kid
