Which DD name do you prefer.....

[narroweddownto2]

for our first DD expected imminently?

Eva or Leia.

Both lovely names. As others have said, Eva is more popular.

Leia

Leia

Neither would be my choice, but out of the two, Eva (sorry Loki).

I think I prefer Leia

Eva

Leia, but spelt Leah

Leia but be prepared for people to constantly mispronounce it as Leah despite the Star Wars connection.

Don't be sorry Annie - I didn't name her 😂😂😂

My own dc have more classical names, so it's not something I'd choose myself, but dsd loves it, she said it's an ice breaker when she meets new people as there's always something to get the convo starting 😂

Eva

Leia - May the fourth be with you

Leia

I prefer Leia to Eva....

Eva is ridiculously common, along with Evie, Ava, etc etc. However, is still a lovely name and I'd choose it over Leia, which I don't like.

Leia for me!

Leah is best

Leia

What about Lila instead of Lola if you can't use that?

Leia

Eva but very common, prefer Ava

Leia, but I would look for an alternate spelling.

I think Leah would be pronounced 'Lee'. I know someone with this name (not a child) and she spells it Leyya. I have never noticed anyone mispronouncing it.

There are loads of Evas so I'd avoid it as I don't like popular names personally.

We have a cat called Leia - named by the dc in honour of the SW character. It's a bit more unusual without being too uncommon.

Some people are suggesting Leah as an alternative, but that's pronounced differently.

Why in on earth would Leah be pronounced Lee?
I know a Leah, no problems. It is how it is spelt!
Check the Bible

Laya would work.
You need to consider what happens when she starts school. It can be unusual as you like , but it has to read easily. Otherwise she'll be constantly correcting people.

Leia. May the 4th be with you
