I love it, it sounds cute, it looks cute! I also like Leah.

Leia, Leja, Laeh, Lia are all the same name. The Leia is a change of the J used in the Polish which Americans would never understand. My grandmother named Leja came from Poland. I am Laeh, same name but American. In German the name is Lea. All these names refer to the wife of Jacob in the Bible in the way Hebrew is pronounced.

I am a genealogist who speaks 5 languages and has worked for more than 25 years in Europe going from one country to another. Over this time I've tracked names extensively.

Haha. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Princess Leia from Star Wars.

I hate this name. But I like the name Leah! If you spell it like this then you are a chav. Simple as.
