so my fiancé LOVES the name [name_m]Levi[/name_m]… but his last name is [name_m]Levy[/name_m] ([name_u]Lee[/name_u]-vee) …. [name_m]How[/name_m] does [name_m]Levi[/name_m] [name_m]Levy[/name_m] sound to you guys?
Middle name would be: [name_m]Derek[/name_m] [name_m]Jeffery[/name_m].
Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s usable.
It’s too bad he loves it so much! Maybe you can find a full name for [name_m]Levi[/name_m] and just call him [name_m]Levi[/name_m] as a nickname ([name_m]Leviticus[/name_m]?)? I just think it’s setting him up for a lifetime of mispronunciations, odd looks and “Yeah, I know” responses when he introduces himself and people ask “Really?”. Or you could use it as a middle and call him [name_m]Levi[/name_m]! I think giving him an option of something else to use when he’s older is a good plan. He may get tired of the reactions people give him. Good luck!
As everyone else has said so far, I don’t think that [name_m]Levi[/name_m] is an option for you guys sorry! It is a great name, though! Maybe [name_m]Eli[/name_m] could work? It has a similar sound to [name_m]Levi[/name_m], but [name_m]Eli[/name_m] [name_m]Levy[/name_m] sounds a lot better than [name_m]Levi[/name_m] [name_m]Levy[/name_m].
[name_m]Just[/name_m] a completely random idea… What if you hyphenated your Surnames with YOUR Surname First, e.g. [name_m]Smith[/name_m]-[name_m]Levy[/name_m]? Then [name_m]Levi[/name_m] [name_m]Smith[/name_m]-[name_m]Levy[/name_m] (or whatever your Surname is) would be fine!
