He immediately looked at me and I said I like it! He loves that name because he is a big Star Wars fan! So our baby will always be our Princess Leia! Reply Elicia May 16 at 12:36 pm We had twins…we love Star Wars… stand alone the names are great Leia is Hawaiian for heavenly flower, I (mama) was named after my heavenly maternal grandmother “Rose” Leia Rose was perfect for us. This snoozey beauty brings us great joy! Reply Rebecca Apr 2 at 12:23 pm My husband and I really wanted a short name for her as well and no middle name. We both don’t have middle names and we love it. Reply Leia Feb 7 at 8:09 am I found this on Google and am upset about the pronunciation of the name. The name is pronounced the same as Leah and not as Lay-ah. Lee-ah is the grammatically correct way of pronouncing the name due to how the vows and consonants line up. If you’re using the pronunciation from from “Star Wars” please don’t!!! They incorrectly started to pronounce the name after they correctly pronounced it in the first movie. Reply Carolyn Jun 11 at 11:44 am We found out her gender, I was looking at onesies on Amazon and came across a Darth Vader and Leia onesie. My boyfriend already has a son named Luke, so we went with Leia. Reply Share your thoughts on the name Leia Cancel ReplyYour email address will not be published.
