I'm not sure I can wrap my mind around Leda pronounced LAY-də; I've only ever heard it pronounced LEE-də and it seems to be carved quite solidly into my mind like that. And I do like the sound of it (at least pronounced LEE-də), but the name is entirely tied to the character in my mind.

LEE-thə does sound like Lisa with a lisp, but possibly only because you pointed it out.

Thank you! I'm quite curious how many people would hear Leda and immediately think of the mythological character. She seems quite minor, no?

I suppose she's really not as well known as Zeus or Athena; I just happen to have taken a class on classical myths in university.
