I had to laugh. On the'submission on July 25, someone said they liked it as a middle name or paired with another name like marie. Leah Marie. That's my middle name. Ahhhh the plainness yet sweetness of it all...

My 2nd daughter is called Leah, pronounced "Lee-ah". It's a pretty name and goes well with her older'sister, Polly: "Polly and Leah". They're similar but different, sort of complementary; symmetrical.

My daughter's name is Leah and we pronounce in the traditional hebrew way which is Lay-ah. can't stand it when people tell me that Isn't the way to say her name. Just go with it. Some people are Lee-ah and some aren't.

I have rarely met other Leahs, I like my name and I'm glad It's not too common. Most people like the'sound of it but often misspell it "Lia" which is annoying. Correct pronunciation in my book is "Leeah" not "Layah" like Princess Leah.

my older'sister's name is Leah and we used to tease her about in Star Wars, we'd call her Princess Laya*. She would blush and laugh. We call her Lee now and one of her friend's names are Leigh (pronounced Lee) and so when my mom is talking about Leah she'll call her Lee to her friends mom and they'll get all confused. *I'm not sure how It's spelled*

I know someone named Leah. She is a great role model. She's caring, loving, funny, meticulous, and outgoing. She's the kind of person you want to be around when you are having a bad day. She makes the day do a complete 360. There's always one or two extrodinary people that come into your life, change it for the better, and change you; make you a better person, or at least make you want to become a better person, and the Leah I know is one of those extradinary people. I like Leah Rose, Leah Garland, or Leah Corinne as fist and middle names. Leah Kate sounds pretty too.

My name is Leah (pronounced Lee-uh). I am 13. People always say my name wrong. I get Lee and Leia (like Princess Leia) from teache's. This one kid at a camp I went to called my Leia. It got SSSSOOOO annoying. Sometimes I get Lei (like a Hawaiian lei of flowers). i've been wondering how that person got Lei!! Not a lot of people spell it wrong, though, but when'they do, its always Leigha. I love my name though. I love how it means "Mistress or ruler". That's how I feel sometimes, like a mistress, since I am the oldest kid in our family.

Went to high school in the 70,s so I heard all the'star Wars (Lay ah) I don't mind when people call me princess. But I go crazy if someone calls me "Lee" like its something short for Leah-It's NOT! Lee is a totally different feeling - kinda masculine - Leah is very pretty and very feminine. I wish I had named my daughter Leah too, she's a Taylor- my son's a Tyson

Hello, so I am Leah [Lee-ah] I'm 17 years old and I'm still accepting my name. I'm the only Leah in my highschool. I won't lie, I live being the only one with a different name. I get called "LeeLee" often by friends, I think It's cute. Also I do get teased about being Princess Laya often, so my name tag at work reads "Princess Leah" I get questioned about it often. i've been'told to be very attractive and very sweet. I'm extremely spontanious and very bubbly. I'm always smiling. I have a great personality, what can I say, I'm Leah.

As a child, I thought I was the ONLY Leah in the world. When meeting adults, I often heard "such a pretty name for such a pretty girl". I didn't want to be Leah!! I really wanted a more generic name. They were a few who commented on the Biblical significance of the name. And...there were plenty that jokingly expected me to wear braided buns on the'side of my head (a la Star Wars)! As an adult, i've grown to enjoy my name despite the occasional pronounciation glitch (I'm Lee-ah, not Lay-ah). i've had a few nicknames throughout the years; although, none of them were short-form for Leah (seriously, do You'really need to reduce two syllables❤️!). I'm beginning to hear the name more frequently in the U.S. (It's been 30+ years since I entered the world as Leah). Through travel, i've discovered It's far more common in Europe.

It's unusual, but not "weird," and kids had a tough time coming up with ways to make fun of me with it growing up :) The only pop culture reference i've run into was Princess Leia from Star Wars (pronouned differently). It is nice short name, reasonably easy to pronounce and spell.

I like that it not super common but not weird either. My middle name is also Marie. I am happy with it and wouldn't want it to be any thing else.

many people mispronounce it as "Lee" or "Lay-ah". My name is Leah and I pronounce it as "Lee-ah". I know of some people named Leah who do pronounce it as the'starwars Princess (as "Lay-ah").

My first name is Leah and my middle name is Katherine and I like it now as an adult but didn't when I was younger. I don't like the meaning but I like my name. I was born in 1992 and I went through high school with 2 other Leah's and I'meet one every now and then but I like that It's still fairly unique. Some people pronounce it Lee which I'm not a fan on and correct them. My dad is the only person who can call me Lee and get away with it haha. Some of my friends call me leelee which is fine.

My name is Leah and I'mean I never really thought much of the title. I was the only one in my family who was named by my dad. He wanted it to be From the bible and my mom was all out of names after her fith child. My mom didn't like it, thought it was ugly and decided that because the name meant weary that it was no good for one of her daughters. I think shes become grown to it but I still dont know if she even likes my name. I like my name. it may not be what my mom wants but at least now i have a way to know that my dad os even real (they were seperated and even'though i still see him sometimes its like I'mever really had a dad. I dont really remember him-i was 4) my name might not be perfect but i like it and thats all that matters

Adriana, I'd pronounce Aellea like "AY-lee-ah" which kinda sounds like alien. I like Leah. If I ever have kids, I'd like to call them Leah May-Ella (not sure about May-Ella) and Victoria Rose-Elle (not sure about Rose-Elle either. Maybe Ette❤️)

Yes, people often spell my name without the'second i as well, I have found that a lot of people want to sound out the whole end saying it like it is spelled like "shia" instead of "sha", incorporating the'second i when it is read not heard.

My name is Leah (NOT Leia!). I like my name but hate when othe's mispronounce/misspell it. Also, I refuse to watch any of the'star Wars movies because of the confusion with Princess Leia (ha ha). I have only encountered a few othe's with the'same name, but when I first introduce myself, often people compliment me on how pretty "Leah" is.

Our number 2 daughter is Leah. The only other time I'd heard the name was my mother's aunt and I thought it unusual and very pretty. Leah was one of a kind for years and not too happy when she saw the name becoming more popular.She was 11 before her name showed up on personalized stuff in the stores. She is 34 now and there are lots more Leahs around. Her middle name is Kathleen after my mother.

At the time I had my second daughter, my oldest daughter was 16. I wanted there to be a special bond between the two, even though there was so many years between them. I made my oldest daughter,along with my husband, one of my birthing coaches, so she could witness her little sister come into the world. I also named my baby girl after her. My oldest daughter's name is Taylor Leigh (pronunced Lee), and my baby girl was name Leah Shea. I feel that both of my girls have very strong and beautiful names.

My name is Leah Marie and I'm 20 years old. I absolutely love it, though I went through a phase in middle school where I wanted to change it. I have only known 4 other girls named Leah and 1 Leigha. Infact, I didn't know anyone with my name until high school. People always compliment my name, which I love. I don't like how it regularly gets pronounced Lee. As if people don't know what sounds letters make. My parents chose it out of the bible and liked it because it wasn't common but still very pretty. I have gotten plenty of star wars comments, a lot of "See ya, Leah"s, and a male teacher in 7th grade started singing "Ah, Leah" by Donnie Iris the first time he met me, in front of the class. Awkward. Still, It's a fun conversation starter, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Hello to other Leahs as well! I also have trouble with misspellings and mispronouncing, but it almost makes it better because It's nice to see someone spell or pronounce it right the first time and if someone cares enough, they'll work to get it right. Sometimes I dislike it, but most of the time I like it because It's so feminine, simple and sweet, plus not many people around my area seem to be named Leah.

My name is Leah, I'm twenty years old and I absolutely, purely hate it! I didn't mind it as much as a kid but when I got into my teens, mostly my late teens, it just sounded so childish. When I complained about when my mother named me that name'she'said, "It was unique at the time! If you hate It'so much, change it love." I would love to change it but when I ask people to what, they say, "Nothing. Your name'suits you.."

My name is Leah and I like my name, it means "weary", but Leah was the ancestor of Jesus! a lot of people take to calling me "Princess Leah." It'shows on the chart that it was reeally popular in the 80's, but i've still only ever known a handful of people with the name. Amazingly, It'seems to be very difficult to pronounce and spell. i've been called : Lia, Lea, Lee, and I tell people "It's been around for thousands of years y'know." I think It's really pretty and I'm glad It's mine:-)

My name is Leah. I like my name for the most part but I hate it when people spell it wrong. I'mean i could name over a thousand different ways that people spell it. It gets annoying when you have to spell it out for everyone cause they can't figure out how. I also absoloutely hate it when people call me Leah like princess leah from star wars. I'mean hello do you see any cinna-buns sticking out from the'side of my head❤️ I love the meaning of my name. The wife of Jacob (well one of the two). And mother of the'six tribes of the chosen. The other two meanings of Leah I don't really like. They are weary and....COW! I'mean do I look like a cow! Do I walk on four legs like a cow! Do I eat my lawn for breakfast❤️ Do I have freakin spots on my back. whatever. I like my name i just wish people would learn to spell.

People often say incorrectly. i've gotten "Lee" and once someone even said "Leech." And the jokes about Star Wars and the Roy Orbison song are getting a little old. In addition, some people wonder if It's pronounced "Lee-uh" or "Lay-uh." I don't have a preference, really, so my friends choose the pronunciation they like.
