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.
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. :)
