Thank you!

Do you actually know someone with this name who pronounces it as LAY-oh-na, or was that just what you thought when you first saw it? I have never met someone in the USA with this name who doesn't say it as lee-OH-nuh myself. :)

Well, the first time I could associate it to a person was with the singer Leona Lewis (who's British), and I usually hear her name pronounced LAY-oh-na or Lay-OH-na. I think that's the only reason why.

I've only ever heard her name pronounced as Lee-ona. She was just being interviewed on tv as I was commenting on CKE's post.
