Re: Leia
in reply to a message by Lily
I think Leah, Lea, and Leia will all be mixed up at some point. The names are just too similar not to be.
I'm an oddball and inwardly pronounce Leia like Leah, but because of Star Wars would outwardly pronounce the name as LAY-ah. I don't think it's "too" Star Wars; I just think that Star Wars made an uncommon name not so unheard of anymore.
I actually just put Leah on my PNL the other day and was this close to adding Leia but decided against it because of the pronunciation differences even though I prefer the spelling of Leia over Leah.
