I love Lia. I had that name picked out for a girl, but alas, I can't use it now.

We're using Leah!

I think it's the most common spelling - and I'm all about preventing my child from having to correct others for the rest of her life.

Ooh, a new spelling I didn't know about.  Very pretty.

I had Leah picked out for our girl, but my cousin's wife beat me to the punch 3 months earlier and named their baby girl Lia.  I like both spellings, but I like Leah just a little bit more!

I'm probably in the minority, but I prefer Lia. .. most likely because I know someone with that spelling.

Leah is definitely the most common.  This is my name and I have to tell you that 98% of the time people mispronounce it as Lee.  I have no idea why.  It is pronounced exactly how it's spelled (Lee-uh)! This happened with pretty much all of my teachers in my entire life, it happens at the doctor's office, at job interviews, everywhere!  It's a nice name, but I just thought I'd give you a warning that she's in for a lifetime of correcting the pronunciation, no matter how you spell it.

I am Lea. I have had problems with people mispronouncing my name forever, but so have other Leahs (with h's) that I know. My mother liked the meaning of my named minus the 'h' she says. But if you like it, you like it! I used to hate it when I was little bc nobody else had my name, but I grew into

My niece is Leah.

A PP mentioned people mispronouncing Leah- if you spell it Lia, I don't think that would happen. Consider Gia, Mia, Pia, Kia (yeah, okay, that's a car company), via...

In other words, I like it spelled Lia.
