How to pronounce Liza?

[Anonymous]

I've been set on the name for 6 months and had it in my head that the name would be pronounced like "Ly-za" but curious what people think about both that pronunciation and the other way of "Lee-za?"

Obviously I know it will be my choice, just curious to hear people's thoughts.

Leeza would be spelled that way. Liza is pronounced Lie-zah.

OP here. My first is named Lena. 50% of the time people get her name pronunciation right as "Lee-na" and others say "Len-a."

With both names, it it a matter of pronouncing a short or long vowel for the "e" and "i."

Again, just curious as to how people would pronounce Liza and if there was a "preferred" way, if there is such a thing 😅

This.

And please use Elizabeth.

Yes this.

Though as an Elizabeth this has always bothered me since it's not how you say the "liza" part of my own name. I've never used it as a nickname though, so.

Why? Many people want Liza or Aliza.

Very much set on Liza versus Elizabeth (please no one come for me) 😅

I appreciate the comments!

It’s short for Eliza and pronounced that way.

Okay, naming your kids Lena and Liza is an awful idea. I say this as someone named Kathy with a brother Kevin, and cousins to Sima and Sara (who are sisters). The cutesy thing is awful. The alliteration is awful. Use your second choice.

OP here. Not looking for opinions on the name, thanks!

Me and my sister are both "K" names and we're all good 🤷🏼‍♀️

LIE-za.

I like it (though the sibling thing would bug me).

Lena is a name with different pronunciations in English based on the name or language it's based on. Both Lee-na and Len-a are correct.

Liza is a name with one pronunciation in English. Lie-za. It's not the "preferred" way it's the only way.

OP doesn't have a kid named Lena so I'm not sure what your rant is about.
