Also prefer Rio (REE-oh) or Ori (oh-RYE or OH-ree) to Orio, which are actually shortened anyway. Orio is the same amount of syllables so I never understood it.

Also, Silas is SY-luhs or SEE-lahs, but people really don't get that one wrong as much, though I have gotten SEE-lis and Silla before lmaooo

and if you want to shorten it, it's oa-REE-oh, not Oreo. I am not a cookie lmao

I was a 2e student in grade school with ADHD and dyscalculia, so I've become a master at coming up with weird tricks but also those are my emotional support weird tricks thank you.
