What do y’all think of the name Leif?

I’m 21 weeks pregnant and expecting a baby boy in July! My husband and I have been really struggling to find a boy name we both like. One name that we both like though is Leif.

My husband has strong Scandinavian roots (his name is Sven), and I have some Norwegian and Danish on my side. My only concern with the name is that it might be too strange or difficult for people here in the US. Also, we would pronounce the name “LAYf”, not “LEAf”, since that is the authentic pronunciation.

What do y’all think? Honest opinions are appreciated!
