How do you pronounce Leia? I am not familiar. Does it rhyme with Sophia? If so I am not a fan.

Leia Sophia... isn't that a jewelry line?

I just checked.. it is Lia Sophia. (That is the first thing I thought of anyway when I saw).

Lay-Uh, rather than Lee-Uh

That's what I was afraid of, but didn't want to say it so I could get first impressions! Wink H doesn't think it's a big deal and most people have never heard of it...

Star Wars people! Pronounced Lay-uh. You would think after those movies this name would never be mispronounced. Unless I am wrong and you are pronouncing it differently, wouldn't I feel dumb.

I like Owen Andrew. I like Leia and Sophia separately, but not together. (It makes me think of Lia Sophia Jewelry.)

star678 · January 2012

I like it, but you and dd will get questions about it being a Star Wars reference forever. If you are cool with that (or if that's why you're doing it) go for it!

i think leia sophia is too sing songy.

Annnnd that's my other concern! Haha! No it's NOT why I like it, though H likes the association. I would like it a lot more if it didn't mean tons of Princess Leia comments.

like the boy name and sophia

alohamora · January 2012

The boy name is nice. I immediately thought of Lia Sophia with the girl name.

treble_clef · January 2012

I love Leia!

ObLaDi · January 2012

I love Leia, even though it will make everyone think of Star Wars.

Leia Sophia doesn't work--it's a very well-known jewelry line. Do you have other middle name contenders?

KarlsSweetie05 · January 2012

boy name is great!

girl name - first thought was the jewelry line. then 2nd thought was rhymes too much, too sing songy.. then Star Wars reference...

so girls name is a "no go" for me ..

Lia Sophia is a brand of jewelry. sorry that's all i can think of when i hear it.

LiLTexan09 · January 2012

Leia Sophia is NMS & I think they sound a little too similar. Sorry.

I love the name Owen! This was at the top of our boy's name list.

apple_green · January 2012

I still like the flow of Leia Sophia! Though not the jewelry association so it's open to change. Other ideas have been:

Leia Kate

Leia Madeline

Leia Morgan (only because it's a family name, which we're not sure that we're into)

This was my first thought.

rubber_chicken · January 2012

I love Owen Andrew.

Lia Sophia is a direct sale jewelry line - that's the first thing I thought of.

mer313131 · January 2012

All I can think of is Lia Sophia the jewelry company. It's a little too rhymey for my style.

Love Owen Andrew. Owen is on our short list of boys names.

lmm9 · January 2012

My name is Leah and I get called Lia Spohia ALL the time and it drives me nuts! Even the princess Leah comments don't bother me as bad but I would definately not name my child after a popular company because it irriatates me as an adult! I actually really really like my name a lot so I would definately recommend it, but definately with a different middle name. (just an fyi mine is Leah Michelle).

On the other hand I do like Owen Andrew

HTH!
