Woah - Star Wars Geeky parents!! (I am one too)....please let her middle name be Chewy !!

Normally I'd say Lay-a. Though my niece is called Leia (pronounced Leah) but that is because her parents are Star Wars fans but wanted a normal sounding name I reckon. I still think it's a little bit to pronounce Leia as Leah but there you go.
