This woman, who is going to Emory University on full scholarship, has modified her given name to Leigh. She says it's easier to remember.
I suspect, however, that she may have modified her name for other reasons (PWI environment, for one).
Parents really need to think about naming their children. Research, research, research. As we've said earlier, there are books out there w/African and Islamic names. Use those, please.
