Did you know?

Unlike many Italian names that have a specific saint's day, a person named Leslie in Italy would likely celebrate their name day on the feast of a saint with a similar sound.
In Italy, names ending in 'ie' are uncommon, so Italians may instinctively pronounce the name with a clearer 'e' sound at the end.
The use of English names like Leslie grew in Italy during the late 20th century due to the influence of American cinema and music.

Ho incontrato Leslie ieri.
I met Leslie yesterday.
