I'd intuitively pronounce it "lehv" which I guess isn't Russian, and I prefer the meaning "heart"...I do like it but in Hebrew/English.

It's pronounced like leave. I forget it is also Hebrew. I'm talking about it in a Russian context.

I don't really like it, but it's because I compare Lev (Hebrew) and Leif. Those seem similar and are more intuitive for me. I imagine I would like it if the pronunciation came naturally and I wanted a less common (and/or a specifically Russian) form of Leo.
