It's time for the discussion we've all been too scared to have
 It's time to own up How did you pronounce Dua Lipa when you first came across her? Let's get the English Language analysis started  Personally, I thought it was pronounced Dooa Lipa (as in lips), and was shocked to discover it was in fact leepa

I've always said it the same as her so yay at me being right
 I was shocked the other day when I heard the pronunciation, 'jew-a' Lipa, and thought I'd been wrong all along

I thought originally Dua Lipa was not her real name and was just a stage name (meaning 'two lips' in Italian or something). Was surprised when I looked it up on wikipedia and it was her real name.
Two Lips would be a great name for her second album! I pronounced it Dewa Lip-a at the start I think, then D-ooa Lip-a when I heard her being called D-ooa on the radio but for some reason I didn't pick up on them pronouncing Lipa as Lee-pa. Only recently did I learn/pick up upon the correct pronounciation. Still prefer Lip-a to Lee-pa though it rolls off the tongue better!

I've always pronounced it Dua Lipa, so you can imagine my surprise when I discovered it was Dua Lipa

Jew-a-leep-a for me, don't think I'll change my pronounciation now tbh since I've become so accustomed to it.

I’ve always said jew-a too, I know it’s wrong but it just feels weird to say doo-a now

Just had a Spotify ad where they pronounced it Jew-a Lip-a
 You'd think they'd check these things
