Leigh=Lee and Leah=Lee-ah or Lay-ah
Except my middle name of Leigh is pronounced Lay. Like I always said when I had to correct people, you don't pronounce Weigh "Wee".
That's adorable. I like you, PP!

Now I always assume Leah is "lee-ya."
Yes, Leahs were Lees up there in my experience.
Op here. Thanks for confirming. East coast raised here and I distinctly remember Leah being Lees but now I keep seeing the Lee-ah pronunciation.

I'm from this area. Growing up and now, Leah=LEE-UH or LAY-UH (Hebrew) and LEIGH=LEE.

I don't know why but I swear when I was a kid every Leah I met was a "Lee".
