Lior

Lior (pronounced lee-ore). I really like this name. I had a (female) preschool friend who spelled it Lyore. Most people find it masculine it seems but I find it quite feminine.

WDYT?

To me it's unisex (like Liron) but if you want to make it more feminine, Liora is perfectly acceptable as well.

I read it as Liar.

I did too!

Same here.

It kind of sounds like liar. I think people would pronounce it that way too (lye-or). It sounds pretty masculine to me as well.

I don't like the look of it but the pronunciation is very pretty. I think spelled Lyore it could be a very good name for a girl.

ditto to Lyore.

I like it. Reminds me of Lenore, or just plain Lor, which I also love.

It's unisex, but I don't personally know any boys with it. I know three girls, however, two who spell it Leeor and one Leore.

Also, it's Hebrew, by the way, for anyone who didn't know.

I can't get my thoughts around the pronounciation.

All I can think of is... *SEE ICON* :-)

It's pronounced lee-OR, with emphasis on the second syllable. Eeyore has emphasis on the first.

I like it. I love Liora a million times more though.

I think it looks masaculine, sounds feminine. Also, I can see it getting mistaken for "liar."

it's unisex in my book, but i am of israeli origin and therefore boased. i love the meaning and the pronunciation. it can look a little funny in its various spellings, though. a friend of mine's daughter is named/spelled leeor.
