ArchivesRe: Pronounciation of Leah
in reply to a message by egyptianpanda
I don't think it has. Lea has been pronounced that way, though (one of the two wrong pronunciations I frequently get). Leah is always pronounced LEE-ah, but Lea is more open-ended. It can be pronounced Lee, or LAY-ah, or like Leah. So no, I don't think that's a proper way to pronounce Leah, at least with an H.

My name is also Leah (spelled this way though) and I get Lee and Leigh too, although that is not the correct pronunciations. It is definately Lee-uh and always has been. From what I understand, even the original pronunciation of Leah was Leh-uh (with the Leh sounding like the beginning of Letter) not Leigh-uh (with the Leigh sound rhyming with sleigh).
Its okay, your friend will be schooled when the movie comes out (if the movie gets it right).
