Leah Mia? Leah Melania? Sounds weird or good?

Thinking of the name Leah with the middle name Mia.

What do you all think? Too similar ending sound to work or not that bad? How do you pronounce Leah? I’ve heard it being pronounced like Leia before.

Thanks all.

[Edit: Would something like Leah Melania / Leia Melania (longer middle) work better?]

Really weird. [name_f]Leah[/name_f] has always been lee-uh to me (it’s my sister’s name) and I’ve never heard it any other way. The names rhyme.

Leia Mia or Lea Mia would be okay, but Leah is always lee-uh to me and Mia is mee-uh.

Too repetitive, sorry. [name_m]Even[/name_m] [Lay-uh] [name_f]Mia[/name_f] is still too close in my opinion.

[name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Mia[/name_f] is way too weird…

[name_f]Leia[/name_f] [name_f]Mya[/name_f] could work but any closer comes off too matchy.

Way too weird. Leah is always lee-uh to me, so it is too close to Mia (mee-uh)

Echoing what’s already been said: I unfortunately think they’re too similar. I pronounce [name_f]Leah[/name_f] as lee-uh, but I think even lay-uh could be too close.

Keeping some of the sounds but changing up the rhyminess…
[name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f]
[name_u]Leigh[/name_u] [name_f]Mia[/name_f] (or [name_f]Mia[/name_f] Leigh)
[name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]
[name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Dominica[/name_f]
[name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]
[name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Melody[/name_f]
[name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Melanie[/name_f]

Thanks all! [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think a longer middle name like [name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Melania[/name_f] / [name_f]Leia[/name_f] [name_f]Melania[/name_f] would diminish the rhyming effect better, or would that sound meh as well and better to use a completely non-rhyming, not even close to the rhyme middle name?

I don’t think you’re being dumb for asking, or for liking both names. They’re both great names in a lot of ways, they just don’t play nicely together. And there are a lot of alternatives that could work:

[name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u]
[name_f]Leah[/name_f] May/Mae
Lily/Lillian [name_f]Mia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Mia[/name_f]

Options like that (I’m sure there are a bunch of others I’m missing) could still work.

I think it sounds weird unfortunately but [name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Melania[/name_f] could work!

11

[name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Melania[/name_f] is gorgeous!

12

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Melania[/name_f] :purple_heart:

13

[name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Melania[/name_f] would work great!

14

[name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Melania[/name_f] is gorgeous! :heartpulse:

15

[name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Melania[/name_f] works fine. If you pronounce [name_f]Leah[/name_f] as lee-ah, [name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Mia[/name_f] is way too weird imo. Sorry!

16

I think [name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Melanie[/name_f] is a better fit.

17

Oooh, [name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Melania[/name_f] is pretty. I think [name_f]Lea[/name_f] (lay-uh) [name_f]Melania[/name_f] is even more gorgeous though!

18

I think [name_f]Leah[/name_f] [Lee-a] [name_f]Mia[/name_f] [Mee-a] sounds too rhymy but [name_f]Leah[/name_f] [Lay-a] [name_f]Mia[/name_f] [Mee-a] is fine. [name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Melania[/name_f] or [name_f]Leia[/name_f] [name_f]Melania[/name_f] is a very good option!

19

I like [name_f]Leah[/name_f] but in my opinion [name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Mia[/name_f] is way too alliterative. [name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Melania[/name_f] is pretty though. [name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u], or [name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] is gorgeous.

[name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Mia[/name_f] is too close of a rhyme, sorry! I’m not a fan of [name_f]Melania[/name_f], but it flows nicely.
[name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Maia[/name_f] / [name_f]Maya[/name_f] could work, also!
