Leia is soft and gentle sounding. The association with the
Star Wars character gives it some spunk. I too like it more than the Biblical
Leah. In tone and general feel,
Leia reminds me more of
Linnea and Raia.
Most people would probably assume that you were a
Star Wars fan if you did decide to use it, but it isn't a bad association to have and doesn't carry a lot of baggage like some names.
