Well, since your IP places you in the US not France I'll be taking Claire's word first, thanks.

Well... no... as you can see, Lea is the most popular name in France, moreover I am Jewish, so I hear it extra, extra often. No lay-uh, sorry. It is leh-ah.

I understand that it is pronounced that way but with accents it seems to be lay-uh. sorry for making such a big deal.

No problem at all! I agree that a non French accent can make it sound like lay-uh.

Sorry, mizzchable, but once again: Claire is in France and you are not, so we are going to take her advice more seriously than yours. That's just the way it is, I'm afraid.
