We're reading the Edgar Allan Poe story by the same name in American Lit, and I kind of like it. I don't know that I'd use this spelling since it is a bit contrived and the Poe association isn't as nice as the Homeric one, but overall WDYT?

Link: Ligeia (I added a comment at the name that includes other spellings)
Prn I use (but feel free to offer your own): Le-GEE-ah

My friend is named this

My best friend is named Ligeia, it's pronounced Lie-Gee-uh. I LOVE it, it's pretty! I want to use it as a MN, her name is Ligeia Julia

It's rather nice though I almost want to pronounce it L-eye-gee-ah!
I like the way you're pronouncing it! :D
