Comment left Sep 21, 2009: "HI All you LESIA's!!! People get my name wrong all the time, i think i have heard every pronounciation possible. I'm of Ukranian origin and this name is very popular in Ukraine, kinda glad it's so original in the western part of the world, makes us special :) The way you pronounce my name would be lesya, And although it is a popular ukranian name, i was named after the ukranian poet some of you talked about in your blogs."

Comment left Sep 17, 2009: "Hi, my name is Lesia too!I'm of Ukrainian/Polish parents, so this is a pretty common name if your of this Slavic background. I pronounce it Le-sha, but all my Ukey friends say it as it sounds in Ukrainian, "Les-ya". Growing up in a small town in Southern Ontario, i was the only Lesia there, and the only one when i went to Guelph university! I've had all sorts of pronunciations, most of them hilarious: Lucius, Leezi ya, and my favorite, it sounded like "leash". My chemistry partner in grade 11 was an adult student and i don't think she ever heard it correctly so she came up with that! Needless to say i got razzed for that from my friends! But i have to say, having that name had its advantages... later on when i was in university, it was a great icebreaker to meet guys as they would often do a double take when they heard it, so i'd tell them "it's pronounced like Russia, but with an L" whereby they would say "Or, like LUSCIOUS!!" That became my nickname during those years and its still stuck! It's great having a unique name! The only time I ever get confused is when i go to Winnipeg MB and run into Ukrainian people there- there are always 1 or 2 Lesia's in the group so when someone says our name we all answer! The only minute downside to it is that i can never find anything with my name on it ( i.e Keychain, necklace, mugs, etc) but my husband in our early courtship scored big points when he bought lettered beads and made me a keychain! Anyways glad to see there are more of us out there than i thought! Remember, be proud of your name and say it loud!!!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 13, 2009: "Hi, I am Lesia and I am from Ukraine. Here its a rather common name for girl. It means "a girl,who lives near forest" or "princess of forest" (an ancient slavik explanation). But nowadays girls are called this name after our famous poetess Lesia Ukrainka. Very often itýs a short form of name LARISA.
Our name is the best, isnýt it?" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Apr 06, 2009: "Hi I am Lesia, prounouced "Lisa" I have meet a couple others with the same spelling. I was born in 1966 and live in Kentucky. My Mom was also going to spell my name "Lisa", but was told that would be "Liza" so she changed the spelling to Lesia." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 22, 2009: "Hello all! I'm Lesia (Lee-Sha)too! I used to hate my name because it was so hard for others to pronounce, and during my elementary and middle school years, I was constantly ridiculed about it. Now it's special to me because my dad named me after "the second most beautiful woman he'd ever met" (first being my mom). She was tall and slinder with ocean blue eyes and extensively long brown hair. He had worked on her car and came to know her very well, as also being one of the sweetest women he ever met. My mom loved her too, and so that's how I got my name. Now, my dad has been dead for seven years, and I really miss him, so it's very precious. Now, in my junior year of high school, nobody messes with me anymore, so nothing to worry about now." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 11, 2009: "Hello all you Lesia's how wonderful to find others with this name. My Ukranian parents tell me that Lesia or Lecia (which is how mine is spelt, pronounced Lee see ah) is a Ukranian Poetess very famous in the Ukraine who died very young, apparently derived from the name Alexandria. If you google 'Lecia' you see an explantion of the name. I think there are a few of us now in the UK and I have a new baby named after me." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 09, 2009: "Lesia is a common Ukrainian name, it is the pseudonym of a famous ukrainian poet(Lesya Ukrainka). My understanding of my name is that it is derived from Olexandria/Alexandria, and is sometimes seen as Olecia/Olesia in Ukraine." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Sep 12, 2008: "It was amazing to read all the comments and see how much we all have in common. I live in Oregon and I have never met anyone who spelled their name like mine. My mother wanted to spell my name Lisa but my father decided that was Liza not Lisa and changed the spelling on my birth certificate. If I had a dollar for everytime I've spelled or pronounced my name I would be RICH!, but the older I get the more I appreciate the uniqueness of my name and am glad my father was so daring! It's so Cool to know there is 2,216 of us. Maybe one day we'll be able to find stuff with OUR name printed on it !!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 08, 2008: "My name Is Lesia , I live in mexico having ukrainian and polish backgrounds. My name is something that makes me very unique no matter if others have it. I was told that Lesia isn't a common name I still believe so.. Many people do not know how to spell or even pronounce it , I pronounce it as "LESHA" but my mexican friends call me Lecia because it's easy.
This name means " Of The forest" , my grandma told me,she is polish herself.
All the people I meet tell me it's a beautiful name , and I think of it like that too.
Yes at times You get picked on especially being in 9th grade like me , But there is nothing better than being special.
But this is my experience..nice to meet you all." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 11, 2008: "My name is Lesia, pronounced Lessa short e short a. I was born to uneducated parents from Arkansas and that is my only excuse for having this name. I am also 44, as many of the other Lesia's are. The worst thing I was ever called was Lesion, like a sore. How the professor got that I will never know. My favorite is Le-sigh-a, hey it sounds like the Mesiah, good company!" (Report as inappropriate)
