[Opinions] Re: I'm Catalan... (m)
in reply to a message by Eva
At first sight, it looked to me like it rhymed with Maia/Maya, so I'm not surprised it's not pronounced like LAY-ah (which I'd spell Leia, btw). I like Leah, but not Laia or Leia very much (the "lie" and the "lay" are unattractive imo).

I think Laia it's such a sweet name! I don't fine it unattractive, but that's probably because "lie" and "lay" aren't words in Catalan. It would be so easy if we could hear the names with their correct pronunciation without having to explain them over and over again, and never being sure if you understand and are understood! You just have a better idea of a name when you hear it! Oh, well, some day not so far away we'll be able to do so, right? Eva

Laia would be lovely if it weren't a word in English. Thanks for letting me know about the pronounciation Eva :).Edd: July 27, 2005(6 more days before we find out if we are having a boy or girl!)
