Hi! My name is Lígia. I am of French, Basque/Spanish background. If you say my name in French Basque it sounds like this: Lee-sheeah, with a very soft G, as in she. In Spanish, it will sound like this: Lee-heeah, with a soft G, or H sound. In English you would pronounce it: Lee-geeah, with a hard G, as in a hard J, or like in Genie. Both I's are always soft and pronounced as a hard E. The A is always soft as in ah. Almost everyone mistakenly gives a three syllable sound to Lígia. However, the correct sound is of only two syllables. The first syllable in any language, is always pronounced as a hard E, as in Lee. I hope this will help anyone understand how to pronounce this slightly confusing but definitely beautiful name.
