my cousins name is Haylea, and I have a friend named Ashlea. So naturally I would say LEE.

LEE. I love Lia and Leah, though.

The name Lea on its own IS pronounced Lee-ah! I am 100% sure of that! Also Lea is more common than the other spelling Leah or Lia (which is very uncommon). The name Lea on its own is pronounced Lee-ah! I am a dance instructor and have known at leeat 10 little girls with this name spelt this way and also three women my age and they ALL pronounce it the same. Also if you google it or go to baby names it tells you the pronunciation of the name, which is lee-ah as I said. GL

Most common spelling of the name Lea/Leah/Lis is Lea, they are all the same

Lea may be supposed to be pronouced that way, but that doesnt mean people won’t mispronouce it. I also know people whose names end in lea, and they say lee too. I even met a Lea, pronounced Lee.
