I know a Leiha (pronounced Leah/Lia). Every single day she is called “Lay-uh” and endures Star Wars jokes.

Do you know why her parents chose that spelling?

I think just to be different. She’s in her 50s now and constantly has her name mispronounced; she is in a client facing role and said it is literally daily. She named her kids very simple names with common spellings on purpose.

Good lord NO! Sounds like a name for a horse.


“Neigh” said Leigha.

When people see that written down, they'll either think it's a typo and call her Leigh, or they'll mangle the pronunciation and it'll be awkward. Just go with Leigh or Leah. They're nice names and everyone knows how to spell and pronounce them. It's the kinder thing to do for your kid.

It would appear to be some form of Gaelic name, or just pretentious name.
