Glad you like the names.
The idea od Harry is still iffy. I'm not sure if I like it enough. Benji's just kind of a GP name. I don't know why I always use Charlie for Charlotte. Just like it better than Lottie, I guess. As for Jamie, I can't stand Jimmy/Jim, and I just think Jamie is a neat name for a boy.
I pronounce Leah as Lay-uh because of growing up hearing it that way at Hebrew School (which my mom made me go to until last year). Leah as in the older sister of Rachel and one of the wives of Jacob. I just loved how it was pronounced Lay-uh. Leia just is weird looking to me, and Lee-uh, I prefer spelled Lia.

Yeah, I don't care for Jimmy or Jim either. For James, I rather like Jem (no connection to the word gem in my mind). I think I like Char best for Charlotte, I'm not crazy about Lottie.
I guess the only reason that I really like LEE-uh is because it's the way I've always heard it pronouced, maybe because I'm Christian instead of Jewish? Dunno, it just seems normal to me, and LAY-uh seems different, but I could definitely see why you would like it better if it was the traditional pronounciation for you. I like the spelling Leah, regardless of how you pronounce it.
