Too Star Wars?

My brother & his partner just had a boy and called him Lucas. I'm due next week & if it's a girl I love the name Leah. Is having two cousins called Lucas & Leah a bit too Star Wars??

No.
(1) because they are cousins, not siblings and
(2) because it's Luke and Leia, not Lucas and Leah.

It's fine, I doubt anyone will. Are the connection. I actually know someone with two DCs called Luke and Leia, that really is too Star Wars.

Jenmk1 · 06/02/2015 16:26

I know that it's Luke & Leia in Star Wars. I'm just not sure that I can stand the inevitable jokes that people will make constantly. And although they're cousins not siblings my family is very close.

Foo I think it is fine! But I can see how it would remind you of starwars because of george Lucas

Polyesterslacks · 06/02/2015 16:26

Make the connection.

I wouldn't have made the connection, tbh.

It's fine! Leah is a beautiful name. But for me it's pronounced Lee-ah not Lay-ah?

NerrSnerr · 07/02/2015 12:51

Leah is pronounced differently to Leia so can't believe anyone will make the connection.

invisiblecrown · 07/02/2015 12:51

I'd notice.

IsadoraQuagmire · 07/02/2015 13:47

I've never seen any of the Star Wars films, I'm sure lots of people haven't. Even if they had I don't think the names are that similar.

Jenmk1 · 07/02/2015 16:45

Cornberry, yes I'd pronounce it Lee-yah.
Thank you everyone, I'm obviously just being a bit paranoid. You've put my mind at rest Smile

Not all all.

reuset · 07/02/2015 17:31

at all

StuntNun · 08/02/2015 07:39

If it's a boy please can you call him Toby Wan Kenobi?

Jackieharris · 08/02/2015 09:30

With cousins it doesn't matter.

Siblings yes.

I just thought of Steve's kids in Hollyoaks!
