LEE-on. The band name is a tribute to their grandfather named, oddly enough, Leon. This is how it was pronounced when they were introduced on SNL anyhow. Must be all them Frenchies that Ryan consorts with going around saying “LAY-own.”

Still waiting for V’s pronunciation.

Curiously, it’s pronounced Kings of Meh-on”. Could be a southern thing.

Hope this helps!

No joke, I say lee-on but I hear lay-own all the time from all angles, which then makes me not want to participate in the conversation for possible lack of knowing how to pronounce the damn band’s name.

Suddenly starting to wonder how V and S pronounce this word.
