Thoughts on the name Orion?

Obama can't pronounce it.

What did he say - was it "or-ee-on?"

Orion (Or'rion) - like the Constellation, looks like the word Onion , and most ppl have saw it and thought it's pronounced Oreon.

What do you guys think about the name?

THe name is fine if you and your acquaintances are educated. You are clearly not. Your post is riddled with problems.

I think a lot of people will hear it and say, "Ryan?"

Honestly? Sounds like a gay back-up dancer. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I like it. I had a good friend growing up named Orion. I thought about using it myself-but my husband wasn't a fan.

My exact reaction. Not sure why this one was so visceral, I'm usually pretty easy, but it sounds like it's a tough one to live with or live up to, or something is just off.
