Kielo

My guess is that it's pronounced as KEE-lo, but since I'm not Finnish, I can't be 100% certain about it. :)
This board isn't for guesses.
As has been stated repeatedly.

Yes, you are right, but as I see it, this forum is hardly in danger to be swamped by guesses at the moment, and I personally don't mind the occasional guess. Furthermore, looking at the not-so-frequent comments from other forum regulars in such cases I guess (yes...) that they don't mind too much, either.
Hey, I was just trying to help. You needn't say that in such a high and mighty manner, as if I were wasting board space.
http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=401888&board=gen says KEE-el-lo.
KEE-el-oh would be about right. The "kee" sound kind of blends to the vowel sound of the "el" part of the name.
I'm finnish. But it's hard to explain in writing how to pronounce it. Maybe if we split the word like this:
Ki-e-lo
The finnish 'i' sounds like the english 'e'. Therefore, the first bit would sound like english 'Ke'. The finnish e-sound is similar to 'e' in 'Emma'. So try putting those sounds after another to form 'Kie'. 'lo' on the other hand is quite simple - sounds like 'loh'.
edit - found a nice link, pronounciation for finnish names. Kielo was not listed, but a similar one 'Mieto':

So the word kielo has the long e sound. The name sounds like keelo.Such a pretty meaning.Too bad the name sounds like a drug.
I can't find it. Is it pronounce ke-el-lo?
It should be Kee-eh-loh
