How would you pronounce?

My sons name is Leoric. When choosing this name I did not expect people would have such a hard time pronouncing it. Everyone that sees it written out pronounces it wrong. So tell me, how would you pronounce Leoric?

    @Happy_Yahoo_Personaler‌ and @mjreilly2‌ your right! I get "lyric" every freaking time someone sees it written out! @mmmsly‌ what makes you think lyric when you see it? I'm not upset, because as I've said your not the first, I'm just curious! :)

    Leo-rick does not surprise me, I completely see that one. To me its like the Greg-or-ey, Greg-ry or Grey-gor-ey debate. Its going to come out different from different people and its close enough to what I intended his name to be that its nbd!

    Maybe BC an e can sound like a y? I'm not good with names though. I have a cousin who named her daughter Bryn and at first I kept trying to pronounced it like Brian. She would get sooooooo mad when people didn't get it right!

    @mmmsly‌ i just feel like a silent "o" really isn't a thing, so why do people keep cutting the "o" out of my kids name? Lol I know its a unique name, so I try not to be offended when others don't get it. Everyone has taken to calling him Leo which I knew would happen, and I absolutely love as a nickname, I just hope maybe when he's older he resurrects his full, bad-ass name!

    Lyric. Assumed someone was trying to be "unique."

    Lee-or-ick. I am not familiar with the game, but this seems the only logical pronunciation to me. Someone may be able to prove me wrong, but I cannot think of any case with an O and and R together where it is not pronounced "or" and the rest falls into place from there.

    I first read it as more of a "lor-ick" but with a slight e sound, so not a very long o. My second guess would be "Lee-o-rick" I want to make it sound like Lee-o-rick but with only two syllables.

    Obviously I got it wrong.

    At first glance, I read it as "LOHR-ick", but when I looked again, "Lee-O-rick".
