DH loves Leah and Natasha. I quite like them but love Pippa and/or Joni.

Our surname is Friedmann.

Thanks so much for any opinions or other suggestions!

I don't like Joni,nor do I like Natasha or Leah. Looks like you have to call her Phillipa and use Pippa as a NN.

I like Joni Grin

Technically though, it is actually pronounced Lay-a. I do see your point but I don't want to call my daughter Leia!

Love Pippa, like Natasha.
Dont use Leah if you are not going to say it Lee-ah
Spell it differently if you want a different way of saying it as EVERYONE will call her Lee-ah otherwise!

I would say Phillipa with nm Pippa. Then as she gets older she can choose to be the full name or not.

Love Natasha. Like Pippa too.

Leah is nice then but I think I still prefer natasha with friedmann.

Lay-a, but prepared for the rest of the world to pronounce it Lee-ah!

How do you pronounce leah (lee? or lay-A?)?
natasha friedmann is the best sounding, and will allow a lot of nicknames if she doesn't like it.

Leah.
