Thinking we love the name Leah

The name you’re thinking of is Corinne, and it’s pronounced more like “Cur-INN.”

Corrine is pronounced “Cor-EEN,” and the 2nd syllable is the same as the 2nd syllable in Maureen.

Can we get an answer to this? "The normal way". does NOT answer the question. 3 pages and no one can answer this? That is a problem.

The second option is “the normal way,” but I’m not OP.

Are you insane? Leah Astrid is like the cross breed of a Dalmatian and a corgi. Pick a lane.

It's like naming your kid Khalesi (sp?!) or Scout without reading their origin stories, or naming your kid Toni (after Toni Morrison) without knowing that he given name was Chloe.

Leah is a beautiful, meaningful name and you are all completely missing the point.

Leah Emmeline? Are you hipster dummies kidding me?!

I had a similar gut reaction, though I couldn’t quite articulate it.

So, PP, who is familiar with the biblical story: which middle name would you propose to OP?

One challenge is that OP wants a middle name that is neither Hebrew nor Biblical, which heightens the challenge (in an interesting way).

Her maiden name. Even if it's not Jewish. It's better than smashing a Hebrew name with some wierd danish sh$$ that's en vogue with the millennials. I can't even with the hipster name nonesense. They can't even hear how stupid they all are.

Some maiden names should die out. I'm looking at you, Weiner and Weinerman. Also, Leah Baumgarten Berkowitz would be a pretty clunkly name. Leah Aronovich Blumenkrantz. Leah Feuchtwanger Gershkovich. Maiden names are NOT all wonderful.

Funny....that’s exactly how I “solved the puzzle“ as well. If not the maiden name of the OP, then perhaps the maiden name of the baby’s grandmother.

No one needs to answer the question because it’s like asking how to pronounce Jennifer.

I know several Latinas named Leah/Lea.

I know it’s traditionally thought of as a Jewish name, but the reality is most Americans simply aren’t very religious anymore and younger generations won’t label the name the way others do. Plus, most Jews marry non-Jews these days (it’s a numbers game).

Signed,

Catholic married to a Jew

+1 I'm non-Jewish (though I have some Jewish heritage way back) and both my Irish Catholic husband and our daughter have Hebrew-origin names. They can pass for mainstream names but they are Old Testament Hebrew names. Think Daniel and Rachel, not Shoshana.

I guess it depends what your definition of insanity is. If someone liking a name combination that YOU don't like is your definition of insanity...then put me in the looney bin.
