Help[Opinions] Re: Leda
in reply to a message by whim
I love Leda! As long as it's pronounced LAY-də. Shame about the myth. I love mythology, but they do tend to cast doubt on a lot of beautiful names.
My favourites from your list are:
Leda Rosemary
Leda Juniper
Leda Beatrice
Leda Primrose
Leda Florence
I have Leda Guinevere Elowen /Arwen on my list, so maybe Leda Guinevere, Leda Arwen, Leda Anwen, Leda Odessa, Leda Odette.

I do like the LAY-də pronunciation but if I were to ever use Leda it'd be with the LEE-də pronunciation. It's just the pronunciation of the name I came to love, even if it's the least popular one!
Great suggestions! I admit the Leda Odette combo made me laugh. I love Odette. I think it's a beautiful name and I love that it reminds me of swans. It's just that it's a bit silly to have a swan name with Leda given she was raped by Zeus in the form of a swan in the myth and in the ballet Swan Lake Odette is transformed into a swan.
Thanks so much!
