What do you think of Leta?

We have the name [name_f]Leta[/name_f] on our family tree. I can’t decide if I like it. On the one hand, it’s pretty, simple, and feminine. On the other hand, it feels kind of insubstantial, doesn’t it?

What are your thoughts? Would you use it?

I like it. I think it’s short, sweet, and perfectly substantial on its own.

I think it’s lovely, definitely not insubstantial! At least no more so than say [name_f]Leila[/name_f] or [name_f]Etta[/name_f]. Both of which are perfectly acceptable as full first names.

[name_f]Leta[/name_f] is great.

I quite like it. There’s something distinctive yet so simple about it

I like [name_f]Leta[/name_f] a lot, along with soundalike [name_f]Leda[/name_f]. These names are feminine, simple, mythological and beautiful. Not at all insubstantial. [name_f]Leta[/name_f] is a perfect sweet-spot name.

Also, it means joyful! Who wouldn’t love that?

It is stunning!!!

I like it a lot. It’s distinctive without being totally unfamiliar. It’s pretty too.

I think [name_f]Leta[/name_f] is very pretty by itself, but if you are looking for something a bit longer to use [name_f]Leta[/name_f] as a nickname…

[name_f]Violetta[/name_f]/[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f]/[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]

I think [name_f]Leta[/name_f] holds up on its own and is sweet. It makes me think of [name_f]Leta[/name_f] Lestrange from the Fantastic Beasts movies, and that isn’t a bad association.
