It's my name. I don't have a really strong opinion on it, but I like that it's not too frilly or common. I never had to go by
Lea M. in school. It does tend to confuse people, though. People usually spell it
Leah or occasionally
Lia. Most people pronounce it Lee-a (which is how I pronounce it), but sometimes I get Lay-a or
Lee. Overall it's not too bad, though. The only thing that's really confusing is that in one of the orchestras I'm in, there's a
Leah who pronounces it Lay-a, and people get us mixed up a lot, especially since we play the same instrument.
