[Opinions] It is not pronounced as "leekin" in Swedish
in reply to a message by Julia
Lea is not pronounced as "lee" in Swedish but more as Lay-ah. So Leakim is a 3-syllabic name, just like Joakim.But I can see how Leakim would be mispronounced in English, giving unwanted associations."But it’s all right now.
I learned my lesson well.
