Help[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on... Lionel?
in reply to a message by Avatar Yangchen
Sounds like a middle aged British guy to me. Has a slick, spiffy quality, like Nigel or Neville. Also brings Lionel Ritchie to mind.
Your pronunciation sounds very wrong to me. I hear it as almost two-syllable - LYE'nl.
Leonel (which I'd say as LEE-on-ul) is more appealing, but for some reason I would tend to read it as feminine. Maybe it reminds me too much of Leona + Laurel. I would be cured of that if I met a guy named Leonel, though. It'd make me think of Leo.
