My favourite name in the world, but can enough people pronounce it? I don't want my child going through life explaining how to pronounce, and why it's pronounced the way it is.

Thanks a lot!

Boy or girl? It is a unisex name?

Are you in Wales or England?

iolo or LOLO?! If iolo then most people in Wales will know how to pronounce it. Probably not so much elsewhere, so you would have the issues you describe.

Like YOLO or Low Low cheese?

Either way... it's going to be one of those names that you fear, and sounds more like a nickname than an actual full name imo.

Mhmm, a bit similar to Lollo lettuce?

I really love it but I think the YOLO trend may have ruined it :-(

(I know they're not pronounced the same but lots of people will see it that way)

Is it pronounced like YOLO?
