I've recently been loving the name Leda/Lita. They're both pronounced the same, lee-duh. Which spelling is prettiest? Do you like or dislike this name? Why? Thanks! :)

On seeing both spellings I would pronounce them completely differently. Leda I would pronounce lay-duh and Lita I would pronounce lee-tuh. To get the pronunciation you want I think Leda would be more intuitive. I'm not a huge fan of the name, but it's not terrible.

    AND, I of course love thinking of baby names even though that is a VERY far in the future thing for me because I'm still young!

I like the sound of the name. I've known a Lita, but Leda is the spelling from Greek mythology. I would, at first glance, pronounce them both as Lee-duh, so I think you could be fine with either. Personally, I find Leda prettier.

I'd pronounce them both differently too. I'd say Leda how you said, but Lita I would definitely say Lee-tuh.

So my vote is Leda :)

I think Leda it the prettiest spelling, and I would pronounce it the way you said, but I would pronounce Lita "Lih-tah". So Leda is my favourite! It's a lovely name <3
