Leia
Leia is a feminine given name, most famously borne by Princess Leia Organa in the *Star Wars* franchise.
The name existed before 1977 but owes its modern popularity almost entirely to the character: We named our daughter Leia after the princess.
Sometimes spelled Leah or Lea, though those have separate histories.
