According to https://meilleursprenoms.com/prenom/Laetitia, "Ce prénom émergeait tout juste en France lorsque Serge Gainsbourg en fit une chanson. En 1963, ce tube accélère la croissance de Laetitia qui atteint son zénith au 4e rang féminin en 1982." [noted -ed]

I really like the name Laetitia because my mother's cousin has this as a middle name. Leticia and Letizia are good alternative spellings too, but I don't like Letitia. At least it would be more popular soon. For the pronunciation, I think this name should be pronounced as Læ-tee-sya since the "ae" sounds like æ in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet, not Science in my language's abbreviation!).

It’s okay, but nothing is very intriguing about it. A bit on the exotic side, I believe. ;)

Something about the spelling is very enchanting! It's a nice substitute for Joy as well.

I think this name is very original and unique. If you were looking for a fairylike name this would probably be a good choice.

I LOVE Laetitia and I love how the French kept the Latin spelling of this 'joyous' name, and its French pronunciation is beautiful and classy.

'Laetitia' is the word for 'happiness' or 'joy' in Latin, pronounced 'lie-TI-tee-uh'.
Personally I could never use this name because it just reminds me that I have to study for Latin vocab quizzes.

This name brings to my mind a little girl who's happy all the time (unrealistic as that may be), smiling and charming (through childlike cuteness) her way into the hearts of everyone around her.
That said, all three of its bearers that I know in real life are mature and pragmatic young women; that said, the one I know best out of the three has a funny side that she only shows to friends, so that causes what I know of her to partially match my impression of the name. What gives? In time to come, I might come to think of this name as one that ages well.
