People always mispronounce my daughter’s name and they will her whole life – it happens to me too, I don’t care
CHOOSING a baby name can be hard, especially when you want it to be unique.
One mum revealed that the moniker she ended up choosing for her daughter is constantly mispronounced – but she has no regrets.
TikTok mum Lissa, who posts under @meetthe.ls, said: “I named my daughter something that is mispronounced all the time and probably will be for the rest of her life.”
In the clip she revealed that her nine-month-old is called L’eeana Moon.
The mum continued: “It looks like it would be Lee-ah-na or Lee-a-na, but it’s not.
“It’s actually pronounced Elle-ee-ah-na and her middle name is Moon.”
She said that she called her daughter a hard-to-pronounce name despite the fact that her own name gets said wrong too.
The mum said people think her name is pronounced “Lisa”, “Lyza”, “Liz-za”, “Lizzy” or even assume she is called “Melissa”.
In actual fact, her name is said exactly as it looks and is “Lis-sa”.
Many people were quick to take to the comments to share their thoughts on the pronunciation on L’eeana.
One said: “U did this knowing it would be mispronounced.”
Another added: “I got it right!!!!”
And a third wrote: “My daughters name is Elliana!”
