Lesa

People insis on writing it with many 'e's - Leeesa or Leesa. Go figure

My name is also Lesa. I have always loved it because it is classic and unique and the'same time. I also get "Less UH" and now all of my friends will call me that as a term of endearment:) At 24, I have gotten over people spelling it wrong (I have a very unique last name too so I'm just numb to both of them being spelled wrong). But I am always very happy when I tell people my name and they say "ok, L-i-s-a, right?" and I get to say, "no, It's actually Lisa with an e". And people ALWAYS compliment:) I get a compliment on my name just about every day!

I love it. I think having the name Lesa spelled with an E is just plain cute. It's simple but with a little, out of the ordinary, spin. Which is a perfect way to describe my personality. Only the coolest people on earth are allowed this name.. so please factor that in. I'm kidding, relax. Peace and love-Lesa Also- Congrats on the new girl!

My name is Lesa. My mother got my name out of a book about a girl that was named Lesa spelled with and E and since my last name was long (Kincheloe) and hard to pronounce, she thought it would be easier to say. I get asked how do you say your name all the time. I had one girl tell me she was just going to call me Le . And I'am always haveing to spell it for them. I don't know where they get the i to begine with

I was actually happy to come across this web site and see that there are other people with the'same name "Lesa". Now I do not feel so alone. For the longest time I didn't beli've my mom when she'said she found the name in a book of baby names on different ways to spell Lesa. I figured she read it wrong. I also get the whole "Less Uh" thing to. Other then'that I love my name.

I get called Lessa alot or I have to correct people. I have lost count at how many times I have had to spell and pronounce my first name. I, however really dig my name.

Oh yes, It'stated that Lesa was most popular in 1974. Coincidentally, I was born in 1974!! On point, my mom, I guess! If I don't make it a mention to spell it L E S A, I always get LISA. But I like the way it was spelled. So big up to all the LESA....GOD BLESS

I am a Lesa too. I'm Australian. The name is rare here. I only know of 2 othe's. My Mum wanted to name me after a friend she knew when she was 16, but my Dad hated normal names. So I'm named after a Lisa but mine us spelt Lesa.

I'm a Lesa also and I always get Less-UH. As a kid i hated the'spelling of me name but today I love it and I always get complements on it.

My name is Lesa and my mother thought Le sounded more like e than I. That was in 1970 and when I started school there were a lot of Lisa but mine was the only Lesa. My doctor had a daughter with my first and middle name that thought my name was prettier. Every place I ever worked by the time I left the boss was spelling Lesa with an e no matter if it was another worker.

My name is also Lesa and live in UK. As a child people would often call me Lessa. I was always correcting them saying its pronounced the'same way as Lisa.. On many occasions i've wished it had been spelt Leesa just so people would pronounce it properly. It is annoying when people can't even pronounce a 4 letttered word easily. I'm now 44 years old and have past caring. I now enjoy correcting people and when meeting new people its a great topic / ice breaker. I do still however get annoyed when I fill out forms and my documentation comes back with my name'spelt Lisa. Why do people insist that they know best and think that I can't spell my own name properly.. Overall it is unusual and it Isn't a bad name to live with.

The only problem I have found with naming my daughter this, is that a LOT of dogs also have the'same name...maybe It's just me. But EVERYONE has named their dog Bella! Even Oprah!
