User Comments about the name Leisa
Comment left Feb 25, 2009: "My name is Leisa pronounced "Lee-sa" with a strong emphases on the 'e' sound. The spelling of Lisa is pronounced Lie-sa as in "Lie down", "like" etc with an emphases on the 'i' sound. I am always having to correct people in the pronounceation and the spelling and at times it does get annoying, but then I call them by a different pronounceation and they soon get the hint" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 25, 2009: "It's my name too. My sister wanted to call me Lisa Maree, My mother called me Leisa Maree, When i was old enough to ask her why she spelled it that way, she said that she wanted to spell it as it sounded. She pronounces it Lee-za, my sister Lisa. It is a great source of conflict for them. I wish my name wasn't so much a fashion statement of the late sixties and was more classic."

Comment left Nov 18, 2008: "A true Leisa who loves her name. I too believe in GOD and am thankful that it has meaning. I named my daughter Elisa. I pronounce it "lisa" but agree I am too unique to have a boring name like Lisa.
Much love to all the Lisas" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 14, 2008: "i was born on valentine's day 1994 i never knew there so many person's name are spelt like mine. I know 1 person with spelling" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 29, 2008: "While I like the spelling of my name, I'm tempted to change it first because of its long-embedded religious connotations (which bothers me as an atheist) and the fact that no one spells it right (but sometimes pronounce it correctly). It doesn't help that my last name can be just as challenging. Anyway, I have been searching for the origin of the spelling for years and find it in a variety of languages, including and Icelandic transliteration of the name Leysa (which is actually Ukranian for defender of man). It also supposedly appeared in Old High German but not as a form of Elizabeth. Maybe I'm just hopeful, but I think Leisa may not be as closely related to Elizabeth as commonly thought."

Comment left May 11, 2008: "I still can't convince some of my inlaws my name is NOT Leisha, and I get phone calls and mail for Layeesha and Lakeisha all the time. My whole childhood I was called Liza or Leisel. I don't love the sound of the name anyway; but could my parents at least not have made me constantly correct people as well?
I like having a unique name, and the spelling is visually pretty, but I spend so much time having to "explain" my name or make corrections that it becomes a professional nuisance!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 29, 2008: "I'm very glad I'm Leisa and not Lisa- that's just too bland for me! People sometimes don't know how to say it, and I always have to spell it- in fact I've learned to spell it instead of saying it first on the phone, because otherwise people just automatically start to spell it the other way & then have to go back and correct it. I don't think of myself as a Lisa at all. Now just because I like it doesn't mean I think you should spell your kid's name this way- it's great because it's unusual- don't mess that up for me!"

Comment left Nov 16, 2007: "My mother didn't know how to spell "Lisa" so she used the name Leila, and changed the "l" to and "s." I thought I was the only one who spelled Leisa that way, then quite a while back,with the help of the internet, I found that there are many of us out there! I was born in 1961.
For some reason many try to pronounce it La-ee-sha. Weird." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 12, 2007: "Hi i'm Leisa. also born 1963 in England. the first Leisa that i met had the same date and month of birth and the same maiden name. we had both been nurses too. The only difference she was born 50 years earlier than me in 1915. She reckoned she was the original Leisa.
I love my name. i love the slight pause and momentary panic when someone has to announce me and are not quite sure how it sounds. sounds silly but not every name gets that!!
Hello to all other Leisa's. I hope you all have wonderful lives but do listen next time someone reads your name from a list for the first time and see what i mean." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 23, 2007: "Hello! My name is Leisa and I was born in 1963. I never have met anybody with the same spelling until 1995 when I moved to Missouri. My new hairdresser had the same spelling and was born in the same month of the same year and her husband worked at the same place mine did!! Well, yes, I love my name because it is unique and I think it looks very beautiful in writing--not the ordinary. I love God, so the meaning of the origin is very special to me!! It means, "Consecrated To God". Hello to all the other "Leisa's" out there in the world! I never knew there were so many of us!!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 28, 2006: "I've never met anyone with my name. Before now I never knew there were so many others out there with there names spelt the same way "Leisa." I Love my name. Most people think it is unique and so do I. Yes, sometimes people get it wrong, but this gives me the joy of correcting them. The response is always the fun part. O, that's so different, they'd say. I would just smile and say "thank you." I clearly reflect what my name means "consecrated to God" or another one "bright," an American English translation. I really do love my name. If that's your name you really should love it too." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 01, 2006: "this is my name too everyone spells it lisa so im glad im different and think it a cool way to spell it" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 27, 2006: "My mom made it up and you pronounce it Lay-ee-sa...people say it wrong all the time and i think it's also an alternative spelling for lisa and that's why. i've never met anyone with my name either." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 03, 2006: "This is my name. Many people pronounce it Lesha, there is NO "H" in my name!! It sounds just like it is spelled. Lei sa, just like Lisa but with an extra e. I have never met anyone with the same name. I am assuming that since I have a strong German background it somehow came from thier Liesa, short for Elizabeth." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 07, 2006: "It's my name. I wasn't entirely sure until now that it was even a "real" name! I love it though. Everyone always mis-spells and mis-pronounces it though. One of my teachers called me "Leisha" all the time and after 3 years, I finally discovered she actually thought there was an "h" in my name! I love it though, much more fun than "Lisa"" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 14, 2005: "I'm curious as to why it so suddenly appeared. I'm a Leisa and know a few others about my age (born 1960s) with the same spelling. People often ask me how it's pronounced and frequently mis-spell it (the worst is when it's converted to Leslie!)." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 18, 2005: "This is my name. I have never met anyone with my name and I am shocked to see how many people have this name" (Report as inappropriate)
