[Opinions] How do you pronounce Leslie?
The site gives that it can be pronounced lez-lee or les-lee. I was wondering which way sounds better? I used to know a person named Leslie, and she pronounced it lez-lee. So I'd say lez-lee, but I don't know about you.

I pronounce it Lez-lee. Les-lee is actually marginally better, but I can't keep myself from saying Lez-lee because everyone I know says Lez-lee. That's what comes naturally to me. I think it's a horrid name either way.

both.I flip flop between the two. I also have a hard time narrowing down a Josie prn (jo-see or jo-zee) and a Wesley prn (wez-lee or wess-lee - I think I like wez-lee best. Anyone else?)Anyway, to answer your question, they both sound good, so I'd choose whichever feels best for you to say.
