I have long appreciated Leda.

My grandmother came from a very religious church when she was younger and on the way to a wedding she mentioned remembering a girl named Leda. I think it's an awesome name.

And how many people know enough about Greek Mythology to know anything about Zeus turning into a swan and seducing the Queen of Sparta.

I really like Leda Celeste.

I love Leda, love the poem 'Leda and the Swan' as well. Simple, classic, beautiful

I'm sure next to no one liked it when I put it on my first post, but there are a few converts.

I like it! It has a down-to-earth beauty I really respond to.

---

Out of all your combos, I like Leda Juliet the best.

OK. This is freaky. I was thinking of Leda last night and came up with Juniper Leda as a combo.

Leda was one of my first loves as a young name nerd. I came across Leonardo da V's sketch for Leda and the Swan and absolutely fell in love -- with the sketch and the name. almost and name with a "lee" sound in it is beautiful to my ears. Leda has that, plus the mythological sheen. What's not to love?

---

I'm running out the door or I would comment on more of your combos. For now, let's say that Leda Hermione, Leda Josephine and Leda Swanhild (scoundrel) catch my eye the quickest. How about Leda Xuan? ;-)

Here's hoping Leda comes back into favor with more people generally.
