I have found it easier to tell people when it comes to my name, Liesa, that it is best to pronounce it Lee-zah. I live in America, so I also tell them Leeza Gibbons. Many people know who she is and they are always saying oohhhh. I will not lie, so many people have a hard time with my name, but that is okay. I love the fact that I have an extremely uncommon name in the United States.
