How Leia sounds
Two syllables make Leia compact enough for everyday use but long enough to carry some melody. A vowel ends Leia, which keeps its final beat soft and sung rather than clipped. Say Leia out loud and it glides from one syllable to the next, which is how the scheme recognizes a water sound. Recent U.S. birth records show Leia rising, so it sounds current without being overused. U.S. birth records list Leia overwhelmingly for girls.
The Saju view
The first sound of Leia is made with the tip of the tongue, and the sound-element system used here counts that as fire. The sound of Leia belongs to fire, the element of warmth and visibility. A chart short on fire is the one that gains most from such a name. Because fire feeds earth in the cycle of generation, Leia can also help a chart that is short on earth, though less directly. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Leia would add to it.

The astrology view
In astrology a water-sounding name like Leia is a close match for Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, and a supportive one for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. Charts led by fire and air signs hear the water sound of Leia as a contrast, so it ranks lower there.
