Is Leigha awful?

Anonymous
Keep to Leah, Lia, Liya. Leigha will have issues for whole life, spelling her name, and explaining pronunciation to people. Plus it just looks bad.

The “leigh”s I know (all as their middle names) pronounce it Lee fwiw.



Sure, but I’m asking why- phonetically I don’t think -eigh is an ee sound, it’s an ay sound. Does it come from another language?


The english language is phonetically torturous. I think that is the answer.

Leah was the wife that no one wanted. Don’t name her any spelling of that.

Leigha is horrible. Don't do that to your kid.

Ehhh there are a lot of Sarahs and the Biblical Sarah pimped out her maid to her hubby.

Leah is in direct lineage to Jesus, so…

Thank you all for your opinions. We have decided to go with Leah. If down the road we have another girl, we will use Leigh as a middle name.

I know a Leigh and he name constantly gets mispronounced and misspelled. Leigha is awful.

My middle name is Leigh and I’ve always hated it, but clearly it could have been worse!

It’s a fine name. Many will assume you are Jewish if that matters to you.

As written it’s awful. The real name is fine.

I have a friend named Leigh and she's always getting called Lay.

Leah means sheep, but hardly anyone knows or cares, and it's a pretty name.
