1.Which of these is best?
- Leilah Hope - Though if it's pronounced LEE-luh, then I'd spell it Leela or something, otherwise people will say LAY-luh.
2.How would you pronounce Poesy?
- POE-see, as in a small bunch of flowers.
3. What is your favorite spelling of a name pronounced Poe-see?
- Posy and I LOVE it for a name, but DH doesn't share my enthusiasm!!

Leilah Hope, although I can pretty much guarantee that 90% of people will pronounce it Layla, and that would be bothersome. I like Leela better, for that reason. I pronounce it PO-zee. I like Posie or Posy, no preference really between the two.

Leilah Hope would be my first choice, but not with that pronunciation (lei does not a lee in my brain make, lol). Either go with Lilah or Layla/ Leila.2.How would you pronounce Poesy?
Like poetry with s instead of tr.3. What is your favorite spelling of a name pronounced Poe-see?
Poesy or Poesie.

1. Leilah Hope
2. Po-zee.
3. I don't like the name at all because it's cutesy and contrived, so can't pick a spelling.

1. Persephone Hope
I think Leilah would get pronounced like lay- a lot, and I think Leilah is a quite bad spelling as well
Jessalind doesn't look or sound as a name at all2. Somewhat like poetry3. Poesie, Poesey ? No idea really

Persephone Hope is my favourite, it flows really nicely and I love the name Persephone.
Leilah and Jessalind aren't really my style, although I do love Jessamine.I would pronounce Poesy PO-zee, like Posy. I would spell it Posy, it's the most intuitive with the pronunciatino.

Most definitely Persephone Hope.I never understood people spelling Leila(h) and having it be pronounced Lee. Unnecessarily difficult.Poesy would probably end up as po-zeePosey or Posie I guess but honestly I think they're all really ugly.

1.Which of these is best? Knowing your family names, I'd definitely say Jessalind Hope. Not knowing them, I'd say Persephone Hope, with the side note that I can't think of nay nicknames for it that I'd like.Persephone Hope
Leilah Hope (I'd instinctively say LIE-lah to this one)
Jessalind Hope2.How would you pronounce Poesy? with 3 syllables, so pretty much 'poetry' with an s instead of tr3. What is your favorite spelling of a name pronounced Poe-see? Posey would be best I think (Posie would work too, but looks like a misspelling of Rosie to me)
