[LLVMdev] LLVM Logo

[dpenry]

Did you mean to spell it as in the Welsh name?  The usual spelling is 
Llewellyn or Llewelyn

Someone asked about pronunciation.   The 'll' sound doesn't exist in 
English: it's an aspirated 'l'.  Say an 'l' while hissing out of one 
side of your mouth, and you'll get a crude approximation of it.

Llewellyn: hlew - EHL - in 
Llewelyn: hlew - EL - in

However, I have heard English speakers just say the 'll' as an 'l' and 
not get the ew quite right, giving lou-ellen.  That's probably the most 
common pronunciation of it in the US.
