Help[Opinions] Re: Leah
in reply to a message by Martha
Both DH and I like Leah. Still, when it comes right down to it, I'm not sure I'd ever use it; it doesn't wow me. Despite everything, you can't really go wrong here. Leah is lovely.
Re: the LAY-uh pronunciation, I know a couple with nine children who all have biblical names. Leah Rose is one of the older children and the couple went to the trouble of confirming the biblical pronunciation and using it since it was most correct. The problem is that when her name is said, it sounds weird (lay a rose). Strangely enough, when the couple named another dd further down the line, they went with Ariel May which I thought was strange because not only did they use the male spelling, they pronounce it as aerial, not as ar-ee-ELLE. I just thought it was odd that they went to a lot of trouble to get the spelling and pronunciation right with one child and didn't really care that much with the other child, lol.
