Re: Leia, Moriah, Mattea

Leia is pretty. The spelling suffers from association with Star Wars. But I like it anyway.
Moriah - I get a "serious" or reserved vibe, and a little old-fashioned or conservative. I picture a girl or woman who is very self-disciplined and quiet. It doesn't appeal to me as a favorite, but now that I try to imagine it on a girl I think I would like it as much as Mariah. It's nice.
I think Maria pronounced like Mariah is doable. I know a Leah pronounced Leia. People are trainable!
Mattea already bores me a little because of all the trendy forms of Matthew and the trendiness I perceive of Italian names. But it is very pretty and pleasant, I do like it.
