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.

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

Leah is in direct lineage to Jesus, so…


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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
