[Opinions] Re: Leda
in reply to a message by Septapus
Hi !!!
Leda is used here too for the mythological woman Letha.
I much prefer Letha to Leda because the 'd' in this case bring it a dated, elderly, plain vibe.
I would pronounce Letha as LE-ta because I know it comes from Aletheia so the English pronounciation is kind of cutesy.
I'm still surprised saying that Leda is increasing in popularity; in 1999 only ten of them while in 2016 were born 35! I would not expect it from Italy where the most of names out the Top200 are around 4-5 babies only.
I would use a possible form Leta instead of Leda (it does not exist in these last 10 years).
