[Opinions] Re: Leda / Letha
in reply to a message by Ottilie
Honestly, I quite like Leda, but only pronounced LEE-də. The spelling is simple and sweet and the sound is both appealing and easy for young and old to say.
I don't like LAY-də very much, as it sounds like a Bostonite saying "later"... and I can't get a picture of Ben Afleck from Good Will Hunting out of my head.
Letha is ok. The 'th' sound is better suited for me in boys names honestly. It brings a softness to them. For girls, it brings a datedness imo.
