Well... no... as you can see, Lea is the most popular name in France, moreover I am Jewish, so I hear it extra, extra often. No lay-uh, sorry. It is leh-ah.

I understand that it is pronounced that way but with accents it seems to be lay-uh. sorry for making such a big deal.

No problem at all! I agree that a non French accent can make it sound like lay-uh.

Sorry, mizzchable, but once again: Claire is in France and you are not, so we are going to take her advice more seriously than yours. That's just the way it is, I'm afraid.
