[Opinions] Letitia: Pronunciation and Combos
How do you pronounce Letitia? What are some middle names you like with it? Overall, wdyto it?Thoughts on these?
Letitia Marianne
Letitia Alice
Letitia RosalindI feel like Letitia might need a slightly quirkier MN than the ones I just gave. Letitia (the way I pronounce it) gives me a vaguely English aristocrat vibe, and so do those MNs. Overall the feeling is a little buttoned up. Help?

le-TISH-aA distant cousin of mine was Leticia (with a C) Muriel. She always went by Muriel, though she had a boss once who called her Tish. Tish sounds good to me, if a tad sneezy, but I really couldn't face Letty as a nn.I like Letitia Rosalind! Alice doesn't work so well, and though I usually love Marianne, perhaps Margery would be lighter? I'd also like Letitia Suzanne.

Letitia Anais
Letitia Apolline
Letitia Aster
Letitia Avis
Letitia Axelle
Letitia Bertille
Letitia Beryl
Letitia Betony
Letitia Bryony

I'm tempted to say it lay-tee-tsia after a name I heard said but never saw spelled - it could be Laetitia or Letizia but I kind of wondered if it was Letitia. Apart from that, maybe lay-tee-sha or something. I've never heard le-TISH-a and I don't care for it much.I wish I could like it - but I'm not sure of the sound, and I'm a Brit, so a bit like Titiana, no matter how it's said, I'm sure the 'tit' bit will stick out to some. Letitia Rosalind is pretty, as is Letitia Marianne.

I Letitia as "leh-tee-sha" and personally I'm not very fond of it. I rarely like the "isha" sound in a name, I don't know why, it's just unpleasant to my ears for some reason. Though it does have a nice meaning!Of your combos, I like all but the first... Letitia Marianne just sounds so incongruous or something lol Letitia Rosalind is quite nice though and the best of the three imo. Letitia is kind of a quirky name already to me though, so I think something more "traditional" sounding for a mn (like you have already) actually fit better. Some letters I think sound good following Letitia, and some mixture of traditional and quirky: Letitia Vera
Letitia Verene
Letitia Vivienne
Letitia Victoria
Letitia Violet
Letitia VirginieLetitia Yael
Letitia Yasmine
Letitia Yelena
Letitia YevaLetitia Damaris
Letitia Daniela
Letitia Daphne
Letitia Dawn
Letitia Davinia
Letitia Delphine
Letitia Diane / Diana
Letitia Doriane

I pronounce it luh-TISH-uh
And I think you are right about the middle name. I might swing over to the trendy side. Something like:
Letitia Riley
Letitia Katelyn
Letitia Madison
Letitia Chloe.
With a name like Letitia, I find some of the top 20 can become more interesting in the middle name spot.
