Hello! What do you think of the baby girl name [name]Letitia[/name]? [name]How[/name] do pronounce it? What’s your first impression or image when you see or hear the name? I’m French and I know it’s quite common in [name]France[/name] but not here in US which I like! Also what style would this name be in the context of siblings? Could letitia be a sister to a [name]Vivienne[/name] or a [name]Lucille[/name]? Or even a [name]Rita[/name], [name]Scarlett[/name], [name]Catherine[/name]?
I really need advice with this name! Thank you!!!
pronounced “Let-ish-a” right? i like it, i personally wouldnt use it, but i like it.
I like how you choose a name that reflects where you are from.
I think [name]Letitia[/name] could work well with a variety of sibling names too!good luck!
I like [name]Letitia[/name]. I could see it with either [name]Catherine[/name] or [name]Vivienne[/name]. I have a harder time seeing it with a [name]Scarlett[/name], simply because Gone With The Wind or not, [name]Scarlett[/name] has a 20th/21st C. feel to me, and [name]Letitia[/name] feels more historic.
Could see it with antique-style [name]Livia[/name]/[name]Felicia[/name]/[name]Minerva[/name] type names as well, with that [name]Greco[/name]-[name]Roman[/name] patina.
I say it leh-Teesh-uh. I don’t like it personally. I just picture an evil step sister, like from [name]Cinderella[/name]. Not sure why, but it doesn’t seem pleasant at all. Sorry, I hate to be negative. That is just my personal opinion, so please don’t put too much stock in it 
[name]Adore[/name] the nickname [name]Lettie[/name] for this, but I have unpleasant associations from a not-so-great neighborhood by Detroit
I know 2 ladies named [name]Letitia[/name]. [name]Both[/name] get the nn Teesh.
Leh-tee-sha is how they both say it.
I don’t like the teesha pronunciation but I love the other way. I actually really like this name after I saw it on marriage announcements from the 19th century. It is pretty, historic and uncommon but still known. A lot of people feel it is ghetto, which makes me sad because it is a beautiful name. I also love lettie. 
Around here, it’s [name]Le[/name]-TEE-see-ah. Lots of Hispanic folks.
I adore the nn [name]Letty[/name], but honestly can’t get behind [name]Letitia[/name], pronounced leh-tee-sha. [name]One[/name] of those rare instances where the name looks sweet 19th century, but sounds late twentieth ghetto.
I honestly think [name]Lettice[/name] would be an easier sell, salad comments notwithstanding. And I am a major [name]Lettie[/name] fan; it’s #2 on my mn list for the baby we’re expecting this winter. I’ve tried road-testing [name]Letitia[/name] and it just innit happening, at least not in my neck of the woods.
Names ending in -let, like [name]Violet[/name] or [name]Juliet[/name], are much less inclined to raise the “You mean like ShaNeeQua-[name]Lateesha[/name], or you mean like the Victorian [name]Letitia[/name]?” eyebrow.
I pronounced it exactly like what sachiko said.
I like [name]Letitia[/name] (and [name]Laetitia[/name], [name]Leticia[/name], any variation) and I think [name]Letitia[/name] will be great with [name]Vivienne[/name], [name]Lucille[/name], and [name]Catherine[/name].
love the meaning!
In Europe it’s my favorite pronunciation which is leh-tih-Tsee-ah I wish it could be pronounced that way in the US, do any of you know how this name is pronounced in [name]England[/name]?
I’m sorry but this names screams ghetto…youu really can’t fit nieteenth century england in that Letitcia’s waistline
I want to like [name]Letitia[/name], but the numerous phoenetic spellings has made it unapealing. I think in a few years it could become appealing again.

I had no idea how to pronounce it when I saw it. I have never met a [name]Letitia[/name]. However, if it is pronounced “leh-Teesh-uh” then yes it has “ghetto” connotations (fairly or unfairly). I’d also be worried that someone who had never seen the name before would pronounce it le-tit-ia. I like the idea of a somewhat uncommon French name, but maybe not this one?
[name_f]Letitia[/name_f] is my name, and it is pronounced [name_m]Le[/name_m]-[name_f]TISH[/name_f]-a (not La-TEESH-a). Until reading this thread, I never before heard it called “ghetto.” I find that somewhat ignorant, as [name_f]Letitia[/name_f] is a very old name of [name_m]French[/name_m]-English origin (I am of [name_m]French[/name_m]-English descent). [name_f]LaTeesha[/name_f] – OK, maybe ghetto. [name_f]Letitia[/name_f] – definitely not, and an entirely different name with an entirely different pronunciation and spelling.
As a child I was sometimes called “[name_f]Tish[/name_f],” but disliked it because it seemed tomboyish. As an adult, though, I like it. Nobody ever teased me for my name, though people often mispronounce and/or misspell it. I like my name and most people think it is a beautiful, classic, and elegant name. What I like best about my name is that it is very feminine and also unusual without being contrived. I have never personally met another [name_f]Letitia[/name_f] in my entire life.
A few semi-famous Letitias: [name_f]Laetitia[/name_f] Casta ([name_m]French[/name_m] model), [name_f]Letitia[/name_f] Baldridge (etiquette expert), [name_f]Letitia[/name_f] [name_u]Tyler[/name_u] (19th century first lady), [name_f]Letitia[/name_f] [name_u]Dean[/name_u] (British actress).
I pronounce it luh-teesh-uh and I think of a sassy black lady. Not a huge fan but if YOU like it then that’s all that matters!
Not to sound gross or rude, but kids might make fun of her for having the word “tit” in her name.
