Message: "Family BA" - Behind the Name

[Opinions] Family BA

Three days ago, my dad's cousin who lives two blocks away from me announced that his granddaughter had a baby. She gave birth to a girl. The baby's name is Lia. (She doesn't have a middle name - neither do her parents.) The mom's name is Andréa and the dad's name is Ayrton.

My dad's cousin is 56, so he's a really young great-grandfather. (His granddaughter is 19.)

What do you think of it?

I like it but prefer Leah. Although perhaps Lia is more indicative of the culture where you are from.

I like Lia. I like that spelling best. I know a few Leahs and one of them is nine and pronounces her name LAY-a (based on Hebrew pronunciation, I think). Young Leah is the one I've seen the most of, and I finally learned to say her name right - and now, I've started to read Leah as LAY-a all the time. I struggle to remember it's usually LEE-a! So that kinda ruined the name Leah for me - it's pretty but the prn is ambiguous. Lia is sleek and informal and unambiguous. I like it. Although I would probably not use it - I'd kind of want it to be short for something. I also like Andréa. But not Ayrton!

Lia is alright, not a favorite though.

And I wouldn't say 56 is really young to be a grandparent, it's pretty average. My brother just had a baby, and our parents are 51 and 48, so...

I like Lia, I'm see the spelling 'Leah' more often but it's a pretty and sweet sound.
