How do you pronounce Saul

My husband and I were set on Sol for our baby boys name. One we both loved.

I knew my sisters child has Saul as a middle name and I've always pronounced it Sawl but she is now saying it's like Sol.

I'm gutted! 😭

I would pronounce Saul as Sawl

To me i wouldn’t mind that and still go for what you and your husband likes.
Middle names are not even mentioned as much as the first names so why not?
So both you and your sister kids would have different first names anyways also because they are spelled differently “Saul” and “Sol”.
Is not such a big deal…

Yeah I'd say Saul rhymes with call, as in Better call Saul 🤣 but your sister only used it as middle name anyway, I wouldn't be that precious over a middle name! Has she said you can't use it? X

I haven't asked her whether I can or not. I don't really want to either 🤣
