User Comments about the name Lelia
Comment left Jul 22, 2008: "We named my daughter (who is now 5) Lelia Catherine after her father's grandmother, and my great-grandmother. After I heard the name for the first time I fell in love with it, we didn't even have one alternate name selected" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 29, 2008: "Meu nome é Lélia! Adoro esse nome, sagnifica: tagarela, elouquente, falante, flor, estrela! Minha mãe me deu esse nome porque ela tinha uma professora chamada Lélia! Beijo para todas as Lélia!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 08, 2008: "My name is Lelia, I am named after my great grandmother. Everyone around me pronounces it wrong, including my own dad....you learn to just awnser to anything b/c you know they mean you. We pronounce Lelia like lil-ya. Were from Louisiana so it done with a cajun accent !!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 20, 2008: "My name is Lelia and it is often mispronounced but I always tell them it is okay but just don't forget to call me for lunch or dinner. My Aunt has the same name but goes by Pearl instead. I pronounce it as:
LeeLeeah. I have only known about a couple of ladies with the name of Lelia. It is my first name but did not go by Lelia until much later in life. I have a personalized plate with the name Lelia on it." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 02, 2008: "My name is Lelia. I used to spell it "Leila" when I was in school. But no matter the spelling, no one could ever pronounce it right. I used to tell them its like Sheila, only with a Lee. I've been called Lisa, Lily, Leann(?), Lulu, Lila, my grandmother even called me Lillya. I know two other ladies with the same name but I would never change it. I love my name!!! Like me, it's unusual." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 30, 2008: "I was named after my grandmother whose name was Lelia. I was named Shalelia (combining SHAron and LELIA together)but I go by Lelia a lot. My grandmother Pronounced her name Lee-La and I pronounce my name SHA-Lee-la. Everyone has a hard time with both, but most people love both names." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 08, 2008: "My name is Leli. I love my name as it is unique. I have to correct people often as they misprounce it. The most common mispronounciation is 'Leila'. Think of 'Lillian' without the 'N'. My friends call me Lily." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 18, 2007: "Hello,
My name is Lelia, I am a fourteen year old tennage girl who lives on the East Side of Denver,Colorado. I love my name because it is unique and I inherited it from my dead grandmother!!!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Nov 06, 2007: "My name is Lelia. I was named after my grandmother born in Canada in 1910. The name is very pretty & unusual, that's why I like it. There is a Roman Catholic Saint, Lelia and there is a Lake Lelia in Texas!!! Google the name Lelia and you will be surprised how popular it was in the late 1800's and early 1900's up until the 1950's. Yes, it's mispronounced every day, but that doesn't bother me."

Comment left Jan 30, 2007: "My name is Lelia, and though, like the person above, I've found nearly everyone mispronounces it, it has made me unique. A lot of people look at it and say Layla or Lay-uh or Lee-uh. I pronounce it Lee-lee-uh and Leelya, like the girl above, too. (Some people find Leelya easier to pronounce, it seems. I don't know why it is a hard name for some, but it is.)
It is apparently tied to the name Elizabeth, and therefore probably has a connection to the meaning "consecrated by God." It also has been tied to a Latin male name, Laelius, which supposedly means "well-spoken." Just for fun: I was told by one lady from the Philippines that it is a fairly common name in some regions there. However, having lived 18 years in the USA, and going on eight months in Australia, I've yet to meet, face-to-face, another Lelia. That's rather cool, I think!
I love my name. I was named after my great-great-grandmother.
My name has also served me well online. Search for "Lelia" on Google. I'm the first one. ;)" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Aug 17, 2006: "Greetings! I am hoping to choose Lelia as my new baby's name. But I have one problem-how do you pronounce it? I am searching all over and none of them seem to suit me. Please post if you know how to pronounce the name Lelia. Thanks!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 18, 2005: "This is my name. Alot of people do pronounce it wrong, but no one pronounces it like my mother, including me. I pronounce it Lee Lee Ya. My mother rolls her L's. Sounds more like LeeLYA. I love the name, though. It was passed on to me from a great great aunt." (Report as inappropriate)
