Baby Names

Please evaluate some girls names for me

Top choice as of right now: Leah Caroline Others we like: Avery Caroline, Sofia Caroline I've been researching a little about Leah and noticed that one problem with this name is that people seem to mispronounce it as "Lee" a ton. Yuck. But I'm not so sure I like the spelling Lia. WDYT?

  • Leah is a traditional name. It's biblical. If anyone pronounces it wrong, then they seriously have issues. The spelling of Lia is pretty awful IMO. Leah looks and is much better.

    Avery Caroline No

    Sofia Caroline Yes

    Leah Caroline Yes Yes Yes

    I love Leah Caroline! It's a beautiful and classic combo.

  • I like them all, but I prefer the spelling Sophia unless you are of a ethnic background that "fits" the F spelling.

    Sophia is my favorite, but I also love Leah. I think if people mispronounce it, they're dumb...it's a classic, biblical, popular name.

  • I've never known anyone to pronounce Leah wrong. It's a pretty common basic name.

    Leah Caroline is pretty and beautiful. Normal and spelled right without being overdone.

    Avery Caroline is fine as well.

    Sofia Caroline is fine. But I'm over Sofia and any variation thereof at the moment.

  • Really?  People mispronounce Leah?  I'd imagine those people not familiar with the name would be few and far between.

    Of the 3 options I like Leah Caroline best.

  • My name is Leah and unfortunately, you are right.  It gets mispronounced as Lee literally 95% of the time.  I think it is especially bothersome because to me, it seems like the pronunciation is obvious.  This has been a HUGE pet peeve of mine for my entire life. Even at the OB's office they mistake me as Lee. In school, teachers ALWAYS thought it was Lee. UGH! I hate it!

    I like Avery and Sofia, but Sofia is too popular for my liking.

  • I LOVE Avery and I think that anyone with half a brain will pronounce Leah correctly. 

    I used to love Sofia, but it's just waay too overdone for me now. 

  • I've now just read some of the responses, and seriously people are DUMB! Even smart people (like teachers and doctors) mispronounce the name! Every Leah will tell you that their name gets mispronounced.  I've lived in 3 states and it's the same everywhere.  People on a baby names board know how to pronounce it because they are into baby names, but the general population doesn't know.    
  • I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea that people mispronounce Leah. That is crazy.

  • one of my friends has a DD Leah. She said it has yet to be mispronounced.
  • I love Leah Caroline.

  • I love Leah Caroline! Beautiful name! It was on my list and I remember reading from many Leahs that people pronounce it Lee. It's a more common name now so I don't think it will be an issue very often.
  • Leah Caroline is a beautiful name.  Anyone who mispronounces it is an idiot.
  • I love Leah Caroline. It's absolutely gorgeous. I don't like Avery and Sofia Caroline is pretty too. I don't think Leah will get pronounced wrong. Please use it! It's so beautiful!

  • When I see Leah I think Lee-ah.

    Do you want it to be Lay-ah?
