Comments (Famous Bearer Only)

Leda Muir (MySpace Celebrity).
"Harold and Maude" ruined this name for me -- Maude painted a picture of herself as Leda, nude, which is unpleasant because she's 79 years old. So when I think "Leda", I think naked old lady.The story of Leda and the Swan is not a nice one, either. She's raped by Zeus in the form of a swan, correct? When she's portrayed in art, she's always naked, and is a sort of erotic symbol in herself.The name itself sounds pretty, but I would never use it!
Leda was also the mother of Clytemnestra.
A famous bearer of this name is Leda Rafanelli, a writer, one of Benito Mussolini's lovers.
Leeda Cawley-Smith is a character in Jodi Lynn Anderson's 'Peaches'. Though the name is spelled with an extra 'e', Leeda has said her name was spelled wrong and was originally a Greek name.
