Leda =/= Leta. They're pronounced differently.

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

. . . Really? How is Leda pronounced? I think they both rhymed with pita.

[moldycelery.livejournal.com]

Leda is pronounced like pita, but Leta is pronounced something like Leh-tah.

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

No, Leta is pronounced like Pita, too.

[moldycelery.livejournal.com]

Really? I knew a girl who went by Leta (as a nick-name for Leticia) and pronounced it Leh-ta.

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

Probably because of the pronunciation of Leticia. But yeah, it rhymes with Pita, too. http://www.dooce.com's daughter is named Leta, pronounced that way, and she's named after someone who also pronounced it that way. I can't find it on any baby names sites with a pronunciation, but that's the only way I've ever heard it, and I know (I think?) four women who pronounce it that way.
