I’ve been doing a lot of searching and I stumbled upon the name [name_f]Leda[/name_f] (lee-dah)
According to the site, it’s of Greek origin and it means ‘happy’ which I think is very sweet.
It’s ranked at 841 (as of 2018) so it’s not popular at all which is good.
I really like this name because it looks short and sweet while still sounding fairly strong.
What are your thoughts on the name, and what middle name would go well with it? 
It’s name used in Croatia & I think their ears will bleed when they found out you’re pronouncing it Leeda instead of [name_m]Lay[/name_m]-da.
I loved it until I realised it sounds too much like ‘leader’! I love the meaning. I would’ve pronounced it ‘lay-da’ at first. Good find 
Pronounciation varies from place to place though. Some places it’s [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-dah, other [name_m]Lay[/name_m]-duh. I prefer [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-dah though.
In the UK it’s usually pronounced with the “[name_u]Lee[/name_u]” sound. I’ve met with a woman with this name and that’s how she pronounced it.
I think it’s a nice name, though the story of [name_f]Leda[/name_f] in Greek mythology is rather disturbing. I would recommend reading about it if you’re not familiar with it.
Some middle name suggestions:
[name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]
[name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
I love this name, but I prefer it spelled [name_f]Leta[/name_f]. Surprised it’s not more popular, honestly.
I knew a Leta back in high school, and there’s Lita from Sailor Moon, same exact pronunciation. I quite like the sound of the name, and I never would’ve guessed it was that low on the list tbh.
I like [name_f]Leda[/name_f] but personally much prefer [name_f]Leta[/name_f]. They are both excellent, though! Can’t go wrong.
[name_f]Leda[/name_f] looks sweet and simple written down, but instinctively I would’ve said [name_m]Lay[/name_m]-da. [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-da is still cute though.
I’d prefer [name_f]Lena[/name_f] - although I am guilty of pronouncing this [name_f]Lenna[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Leena[/name_f] or [name_f]Layna[/name_f]
I actually havent heard of the name [name_f]Leda[/name_f] before! It initially just makes me think of leader but I think it could be nice as a name as well!
I’d personally prefer [name_m]Lay[/name_m]-da pronunciation
[name_f]Leda[/name_f] and [name_f]Leta[/name_f] are favorites of mine! I’d say them [name_u]LEE[/name_u]-duh; [name_m]LAY[/name_m]-duh never even occurred to me lol.
I’ve heard [name_f]Leda[/name_f] - I think it’s a Greek myth name (mother of [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] and [name_m]Apollo[/name_m]). I also like [name_f]Leta[/name_f]. For both I would assume the [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-dah/[name_u]Lee[/name_u]-tah pronunciation. I’ve seen people say [name_f]Leta[/name_f] similar to [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-da rather than with a hard ‘t’.
I think it’s a very pretty name.
Oddly I would pronounce [name_f]Lena[/name_f] as Leh-nah not [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-nah (and much prefer it that way!) but for [name_f]Leda[/name_f] and [name_f]Leta[/name_f] it’s very much a ‘[name_u]Lee[/name_u]’ sound.
I like it!
Very pretty and sounds like something from a leading [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars actress lol I don’t know why. But there is that one issue where it could be mispronounced as LED-UH, something to think about, if not it is pretty!
I am a huge fan of the name [name_f]Leda[/name_f].
I really like [name_f]Leda[/name_f]!
I checked a number of different sites & it appears that both [name_u]LEE[/name_u]-dah & [name_m]LAY[/name_m]-da are used. Personally I’ve only known one [name_f]Leda[/name_f] (she’s probably around 50 at this point) & she pronounced her name [name_m]LAY[/name_m]-da. Also, in mythology [name_f]Leda[/name_f] wasn’t the mother of [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] & [name_f]Diana[/name_f], but [name_f]Helen[/name_f] of [name_m]Troy[/name_m], Clytemnestra, [name_m]Castor[/name_m], [name_m]Pollux[/name_m], & several other children…some mortal & some not.
I would say lee-da because of the [name_f]Leda[/name_f] and the swan myth I learned in school with that pronunciation… but as pp said the story is disturbing. It’s a nice short name though, similar to [name_f]Lena[/name_f] which I really like.
I instantly thought of the song [name_f]Lido[/name_f] Shuffle by Boz Scaggs (whoa-oh-oh-oh!) when I saw it. I would pronounce it [name_u]LEE[/name_u]-da, that’s what made me think of the song. Not something I would use, because it sounds old-lady-ish to me, but I guess it’s ok. I like the meaning, names that mean happy or cheerful or joyful usually make me feel that way. If were to use it on a child, the [name_m]LAY[/name_m]-da pronunciation sounds fresher and younger, though I would probably accidentally pronounce it [name_u]LEE[/name_u]-da every so often out of habit.
