First of all, Rav Hirsch points out that the precise language involved Vayeitzei 29:31
וַיַּ֤רְא יְהֹוָה֙ כִּֽי־שְׂנוּאָ֣ה לֵאָ֔ה וַיִּפְתַּ֖ח אֶת־רַחְמָ֑הּ
וְרָחֵ֖ל עֲקָרָֽה
actually means (in the idiom of the Torah) the less loved of the two. Had it actually meant hated it would have said לאה שנואה
The example given is Deuteronomy 21:15
כִּי־תִֽהְיֶ֨יןָ לְאִ֜ישׁ שְׁתֵּ֣י נָשִׁ֗ים הָֽאַחַ֤ת אֲהוּבָה֙
וְהָֽאַחַ֣ת שְׂנוּאָ֔ה
Rav Hirsch also explains (32 - 35) that each of the names shows the progression of the relationship as each child was born. It is not a matter of expectation, but that Yaakov was a normal human being and did not change miraculously. Nor did Leah's perception of the family dynamics miraculously change as soon as each child was born. Each name was given to show what was going on in the family at that time.
Leah realized that this was something that had to be worked on and she recognized the progress that was being made. Note that she uses the future tense, יֶֽאֱהָבַ֥נִי. Perhaps the English idiom could be, will come to love me. That is, now the feelings of resesentment for the trick will indeed fade and a loving relationship will become established.
At first, כִּֽי־רָאָ֤ה יְהֹוָה֙ בְּעָנְיִ֔י So that up to then
Yaakov's preference for Rachel was visible. With the birth of Reuven
that disappeared, but to Leah's ear, it could still be detected.
Just in the tone of his voice to Rachel, Leah could feel that she
still did not posess the full measure of her husband's love, so she
called her second son Shimon.
With the birth of her third son, however, she felt the difference had
quite disappeared, yea she felt she could now express with full
confidence that now, the purest truest loving relationship between
husband and wife was established, which is exactly the conception of
לויה. For לוה, הלוה, is that attachment of two persons where each one
feels themselves the לוה, the debtor of the other, feels that they owe
their happiness and whole life to the other. It is accordingly highly
significant that in Levi, it is not she, but he who expresses this in
giving the baby its name.
