Fllo Pronunciation

Have we had a thread that I missed?

How the heck is this one pronounced? Oobr and foonf were self-explanatory, IMO. They had a respectable amount of vowels.

Fllo? What? I keep reading it "filo" but those are two L's, huh? So is it "flow"? That's kinda... Not appealing.

Actually, I've always wondered how the Oobr was pronounced (& been too lazy to watch a video where someone would say it). Is it "ooh-ber", like rhyming with "goober"?

And I've been kind of saying different pronunciations in my head for the Fllo. Fee-low, filo, flow, fuh-low.

Yes, rhymes with goober. It's supposed to be like über, I think.

I, of course, have no idea how it's intended to be pronounced but am assuming it's flow. At least that's how I say it in my head when I read it.

Well, I have a 2 yr old that says lerlelos for Cherrios, so I say/hear in my head the exact way it's written but as two syllables. So Fl-lo.

I think it's flow.. As lovely-sounding as that is.

Flo. Think of it in terms of a lady's name . Though I guess we could go all Spanish and say it, "Fyeeoh." But it is Flo.

"Whose car seat is that?"

"It's my aunt's Fllo."

Sorry.

I love the Spanish pronunciation. Fyyo. I'm going with that.

If it comes with a red cover I'm never going to stop laughing.

I too think "Aunt Flo" every time I see it.

Which is not great.

Noooo! I want to like this seat.

I've been saying it "fuh-LOW." Since it's low, I guess? And also because I'm a dork.

Maybe they chose the name so they can say ”Go With the Fllo” in ads.

iPad worked for Apple even though people chuckled and made fun of the name.
