Leah~ :/ I hate it. NO ONE pronounces it correctly. No. One. I am Lee-uh, not Lee. Two syllables.

You mean they can't guess by the way it's spelled? I thought it obvious.

You'd think, right? I always assumed that the fact there's that 'ah' at the end would make people realize I'm not Lee and that there is indeed another syllable.

Anyone who knows a Leah, however it's pronounced, will say it correctly. Otherwise, they'll just screw it all over. But it's not a very common name.

Maybe because of Star Wars, more people will go for Lay-ah instead of Lee-ah.

But, the thing is, in Star Wars, her name is Leia. To me, that's a completely different name. :/

And it's definitely not as common as Britney or Ashley, but it's not extremely uncommon either (at least not in America). I remember numerous years in the 90s when Leah earned a spot on the 100 most popular girls names.

I wen tto the highschool with a girl who's name was Leah and she insisted that it was pronounced Lee. I thought she was wrong to pronounce it that way, but she was a very beautiful goth girl, so I just agreed with her. Also it was her name, who am I to tell her how to pronounce her own name?

Jesus Christ. I didn't mean to start a huge discussion about my name.

🙂 It's funny you should mention someone from school though - that's actually how my mother first came across my name. She had gone to school with a girl named Leah and thought it was lovely.

Leah is a lovely name. But I'm not going to name my daughter that, because you already have this name LOL. Don't wanna name her after "somebody on the internet"

But we like your name. Oh, and happy belated birthday!

I go away and suddenly the spammers are the mods. Okay, I can adjust to that, but... Gorath?! And what's up with Mam's not being the top poster?

210 days until I'm legal, Indy!

ZombieKing ihas been challenged! Now it's between him, Blissful_wulf and Mamsmilk. And maybe Dr. Love.

Quote from Gediminas

So all the sensible people say it's not all that advisable to reveal our names.

Oh my, what do I do? My real name is written right above my avatar.
Am I gonna get raped by scary people from the internet?

RL = real life, is it?

Well,... I'm not really comfortable in naming my children after my friends. What if we hate each other one day? I'd have to face my children, who were named after them, everyday. I can't do it..

Just name them all after my nick. 🤣

Glenn Thomas, go by Glenn as it doesn't shorten. ruined the whole first year of school, till i realised i'd answered to teachers by the name ben all that time anyway. Oh well, the first step to reading manga is usually looking dazed at all the other kids anyhows.

at home: Ammu
everywhere else: Ameesha
since ameesha's too long or something everyone calls me meeshers, meeshi etc. just work of that

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.

My real name is Vincent the Mexican

I was named after the movie actor Vincent Price. He used to hit on my mom when she worked in the grocery store in North Hollywood.

I don't know how my dad feels about that, but he seems ok with naming me after a guy that used to hit on his wife...... 😕 😔
