Liegh vs. yes vs. no

Is Liegh a correct spelling of "Lee" just like Leigh? I recently met a little girl named Emiliegh, and thought it was a typo, but it wasn’t.

Someone probably did do a typo... hahaha. Poor kid.

Some people don’t understand that I before E isn’t always the rule.

It looks like a typo. I don’t like the spelling.

I know of a Nataliegh, and I’m personally not fond of the spelling, just as I am not fond of Emiliegh. They just look wrong to me.

I think it’s pronouced Emil-LIE (LYE) Emilai

I would say Liegh LIE too, not LEE. Leigh is a lovely name and not overused, so I don’t see the point in changing it, unless the goal is complicating the kid’s life.

Well, LEIGH is pronounced LIE. I still think someone (probably ma) misspelled Leigh to the nurse for the birth certificate. They probably don’t know any different...

Leigh is pronounced LEE, not LIE.

Source: Have been named Leigh 30+ years.

Ended up here when I came across Liegh and was baffled. Maybe that's pronounced LYE, but I've never encountered it so wouldn't know. Leigh, however, is most definitely pronounced Lee.

Source: Also named Leigh. Closer to 40 years.
