Thinking of using the name Lea but not keen on the traditional spelling with an H on the end.
Partner prefers the spelling Lia but I feel like it reads as 'liar'
Others thoughts please?

Lea vs Lia

Or other spelling suggestions?

I'm afraid I think the traditional spelling is the only way her name won't be mispronounced. I read Lea as L-ee and Lia as Liar. It depends how much that would bother you I suppose.
