How do you pronounce Liev?

LEE-ev – not Leave, which he says a a lot people say.

I don’t think Liev is that bad of a name either, but if he hates it, he probably assumes that others do as well and thus goes out of his way to let people know that he hates his name as much as they do (even if they don’t) as a sort of defense mechanism. Just a theory.

he probably kept it bc it is different and in the industry more recognizable. And some people don’t like to use fake names.

I don’t think Liev is that bad. But I think it would be cute if they actually gave the baby a plan jane kinda name and didn’t fall into the celebrity trend of naming your child something crazy and made up!

While Liev isn’t exactly my favourite name ever, it’s imo at least an interesting one. But if Liev really hates his name so much (‘it’s a terrible name’, ‘you shouldn’t call one child that’), why didn’t he change it already years ago, before he became famous?

I happen to like the name Liev. But I am sure they will pick a cute name
