Lettice/Letitia/Leticia

[Wlkwith]

Do you like Lettice (leh-teese)? DH has raised the concern that people may try to pronounce it like lettuce (which honestly doesn’t bother me much because people mispronounce a lot of simple names). Letitia and Leticia are also options for that reason.

You see where I got the idea from 😂

I'm pretty sure Letitia is pronounced Let-tee-sha or Let-tish-a. No tits involved! Like Letitia Dean, from East Enders.

How about Collard or Okra?

Or Kale. Pronounced Kah-lay.

Or, lettuce spray :)

There is a series of children’s books called Lettice the Rabbit. The lettuce association is strong.

How about Larissa or Louisa? Laura?
Much nicer.

I actually think Lucretia sounds nicer - though I get the associations are not all great.

I think Lettice is far too similar to "lettuce" and it will be mispronounced all the time.

Letitia, Leticia - to me these sound nice in Latin-based languages (à la Laetitia Casta) but the English le-tish-a is not so nice and has a dated vibe like Patricia.
