Do you like Lettice (leh-teese)? DH has raised the concern that people may try to pronounce it like lettuce (which honestly doesn’t bother me much because people mispronounce a lot of simple names). Letitia and Leticia are also options for that reason.

Lettice will be pronounced Lettuce quite often I think, and she will probably be called Lettuce in school!
Letitia is nicer

Pronounced correctly, yes, but I feel lettuce is marginally better than leTITia -l

Lettice is just silliness!
The other 2 are simply horrible.

Not sure why would call your child lettuce, knowing they’d be called that. How is Letitia pronounced? I presume le-tit-ia? If so, that’s worse. I don’t like leticia but it’s the best of the 3

Love it! As you said, people can be quite thick. If you worry about how a name could be mispronounced, you’d have to stick to only the most basic of names.

Your child would forever be called Lettuce. Would you like to be named Lettuce yourself as I know I wouldn’t.

Even if you aren't bothered I think your child might be bothered by being called Lettuce. I've never heard of Lettice, nevermind it being pronounced Lehteece.
