Such a pretty name. Sadly I can’t ignore that the spelling has tit in it and that has ruined it for me.

Weird spelling. Nothing much too say about this name. Laetitia, Leticia, and Letizia are better.

I have a different spelling and I go by none of the given nick names. Leatitia and they call me Tish. I absolutely love my name. I enjoy the eccentric behavior the name has afforded me.

The reason I dislike this name is because of the "Titty" nickname, but I guess Letty could be an alternative choice as well. But overall I just don't like it.

The tit bit stands out to me but this name is cool.

It's a beautiful name that I think should be used much more often than it already is.

This is my name. It's pronounced leh-tih-sha. Not la-tee-sha or (the worst I've heard) le-ti-tia. The I is like the I in bit not like a golf tee. The le at the beginning seems to be the most difficult for Americans to get right. They always want to make it an a sound rather than an eh sound.
I like it, but I've gone by Lettie my whole life. I appreciate having a grown up sounding name to trot out in formal situations.

Used to be shortened to Titty, however this has (obviously) fallen out of use...

My name is Leticia and is pronounced like Letitia. I have had a love/hate relationship with it. People pronounce it wrong often or they assume I am African American before meeting me. I’m not. I’m white as snow. Not that it matters but it’s a funny assumption I think. Famous writer Neil Gaiman (Coraline, Stardust, the Graveyard Book) uses this name in 3 different novels. When asked why he uses it so often he told me simply that he thinks it’s a beautiful name. These things help me heal my childhood disappointment of never finding my name on key chains, coffee mugs or tiny license plates in stores :)

I don't like the pronunciation of Letitia, though I am always hesitant to change how I say a name. In my eyes, it looks like "leh-tiss-ee-yuh", which I personally really like.

My name is Letitia and I didn't like it at first, but now I am like, it's classy and you change your nickname how you want it. I have so many nicknames. I recently started liking Lettie. My family that I grow up with call me TEESH and I use Tish or Tisha. In school they used to mess my name up so bad. If I have another daughter I will give her my name but use Leticia.

I don't like this name one bit! It sounds awfully trashy and low class to me.

This is a rather nice name, if pronounced le-tish-uh, but I really don't like the nickname Titty, like one of the girls in "Swallows and Amazons"! :( Although I do like the nickname Letty, as in Letty Lind, the late 19th-Century English actress. :)

This name is traditionally pronounced "le-TISH-ə", though apparently there is a ghasty alternative pronunciation going around in the form of "le-TEESH-ə".

My name is Leticia, it is not an unusual name here in Brazil, but these days there aren't many Leticias, at least I only met a couple. Usually it is written Letícia and pronounced Le-ti-sia.

So that's where all the 'Lettices' come from.

In other languages than English, this is probably a pretty and sophisticated name, even if somewhat overrated.

Letitia Van Allen is a character in Gore Vidal's novel "Myra Breckinridge." When Mae West played the role in the movie, she insisted that the character's name be changed to "Leticia"! (P.S.: Avoid the movie; it's a real stinkeroo.)
