Léopoldine Doualla-Bell Smith is the world's first black flight attendant. She was born in Cameroon, and was a princess of the royal Douala family of Cameroon. She took her first flight as a flight attendant (with Union Aéromaritime de Transport) in 1957. In 1960 she was invited to move to Air Afrique; she was then the only qualified African person in French aviation, and thus became the first employee hired by Air Afrique. She shortly became Air Afrique's first cabin chief. She flew for twelve years. She was honored at the 40th anniversary celebration of the Black Flight Attendants of America at Los Angeles International Airport's Flight Path Museum.

So bright and shiny.
I prefer Leopoldina. Either name is lovely with the nickname Polly.
A famous bearer of this name was Léopoldine Cécile Marie-Pierre Catherine Hugo (28 August 1824 - 4 September 1843), she was a daughter of the famous French novelist, poet and dramatist Victor Hugo, who died in the river Seine with her husband when their boat capsized on 4 September 1843. He dedicated numerous poems to the memory of his daughter, notably Demain dès l'aube and À Villequier in Pauca Meae, the fourth book of Les Contemplations. Demain des l'aube is a poem about Victor Hugo's experience traveling from his house to his daughter's grave... Apart from this rather sad association, I think the name is rather lovely. :)
