Lea pronounced Lee vs. Lea pronounced Leah vs. Another form Of Lea

I’m having a bit of a pronunciation issue. What would you say if I told you that I’d love to give my daughter the middle name Lea after my sister who pronounces her middle name as Lee? If my son’s middle name is my maiden name and my oldest daughter’s middle name is after my grandmother, I feel like my third child should have a middle name after someone as well. Lea is the only other female name in the family that I love and that’s not after someone who sucks (sorry). However, while my parents intended for it to be pronounced Lee, some people pronounce it Leah. I’m afraid it will be mispronounced either way I choose to pronounce it. But what would you say if I said that my sister’s never had anyone mispronounce her name (granted because she doesn’t use her middle name much at all)? Would you suggest pronunciating it Lee, Leah, or to choose another spelling such as Lee or Leigh?

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
