Is this "love" with a metal umlaut, or "lion"?

  Don't know if the umlaut is supposed to be metal, but the German would for "lion" would be Löwe so it's not that.

    Many Rock/Metal bands have used Umlauts in their name such as Blue Öyster Cult, Queensrÿche, Motörhead, the Accüsed, and Mötley Crüe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_umlaut https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_umlaut

    All we can say is that it's not exactly Lion nor exactly Löwe but it could reasonably be either

  ”lion“ is spelled „Löwe“, not ”Löve“.

      The pronunciation of the letter v is one of the few cases of ambiguity in German orthography. The German language normally uses the letter "f" to indicate the sound /f/ (as used in the English word fight) and "w" to indicate the sound /v/ (as in victory). However, the letter "v" does occur in a large number of German words, where its pronunciation is /f/ in some words but /v/ in others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronunciation_of_v_in_German https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronunciation_of_v_in_German
