leah or lia: Isn't the first one pronounced like "Lee?"

NO!!! Haha. My name is Leah, and it's pronounced "Lee-uh". I hate when people call me "Lee". :(

[solyma.livejournal.com]

haha i was just going to post the same thing! my name is leah too and I HATE being called lee... there's a reason that there's an a and h there! :(

[composure.livejournal.com]

Well, I know a Leah, pronounced LEE.

[solyma.livejournal.com]

really? that surprises me. i know there are people named "lea" (pronounced lee), but not "leah" pronounced lee... it makes no sense. :)

[composure.livejournal.com]

I guess that's why I was confused.

I'm an Erin and I'm female. The only Erins I know are female!

[composure.livejournal.com]

That's what I meant. It was a typo.

[mountain-nest.livejournal.com]

oh okay :] I figured!

[composure.livejournal.com]

I believe the male form is Aaron, I've never met a female male Erin.
