Thouhgts on Leda/Lida (lee-duh), and how would you spell it? We are personally leaning towards Leda, but feel like Lida might be more instinctive to most for pronunciation/spelling (Leda could get Lay-duh as a pronunciation).
I would go with [name_f]Lida[/name_f] if you don’t want your daughter to constantly correct people on the pronunciation of her name. I do like the look of [name_f]Leda[/name_f], and the lay-da pronunciation, though.
I’ve seen [name_f]Lida[/name_f] pronounced with a long I, rhyming with [name_f]Ida[/name_f]. What about [name_f]Leta[/name_f] or [name_f]Lita[/name_f]?
I think any of the proposed spellings are fine - I personally like the look of [name_f]Leda[/name_f]. My daughters nickname has multiple accepted spellings and it’s never been an issue to say “ee-vee, spelled [name_f]Evie[/name_f]” and thats that. It’s never been a big issue and I suspect [name_f]Leda[/name_f], however you choose to spell it, would be the same.
I think you might get pronunciation issues either way ([name_f]Leda[/name_f] as Leh-da and [name_f]Lida[/name_f] with the long i), so I’d say just go with whichever one you prefer. Personally, I like [name_f]Leda[/name_f].
