Do you like the name Leah?

Question

for my cousin's baby?how do you like it spelled Leah or Lia

I like Leah better 2

Answer 1

I usually don't like the names that come up on this board, but I LOVE Leah (spelling traditionally, not Lia). Beautiful name and it will fit throughout her life.

I shudder every time I think of the all future 80 and 90 year old Tiffanys, Britneys and the like.

Answer 2

Leah

Answer 3

I like the name Leah/Lia...
but I would prefer Leah as the spelling.

Answer 4

LOVE LEAH... dont like the spelling Lia though... I like the classic way of spelling. Very nice

Answer 5

I love the name and spell it Leah

Answer 6

I really love the name leah and spelled either way is cute but i think if it were my baby i would spell it leah good luck

Answer 7

I like Leah. I like both spellings

Answer 8

I Love LIA!! It's clear on the pronounciation that way. Because sometimes LEAH can be pronounced Lay-a or Lee-a! But LIA is nice!

Answer 9

Leah seems more feminine and would be perfectly suited for a girl (it sounds so mature and lady-like)!

Lia, even though the pronunciation is the same and all, looks a little weirder to me. But it's still pretty so whichever one suits your cousin's baby better!

Answer 10

Leah is a pretty name, and if youre not too worried about actual meanings of names, then why not?

However in biblical / hebrew, the meaning of leah is not so rosy.

3 Leah Hebrew girl Tired. Cow. First wife of Jacob in the Old Testament. Leah became Jacob's first wife by trickery, as Jacob had intended to marry her younger and more beautiful sister, Rachel, who soon became his second and favoured wife.

Anyway...good luck....its a tough job naming a baby!
