Princess Leah baptized today. (Seriously. Princess Leah)

[praxiz]

Not Leia, though, but Princess Märtha Louise of Norway says in an interview that the name of their daughter, Leah Isadora, is named after Princess Leia of Star Wars.

Thought you might get a kick out of this :-)

By the way, you can see pictures of her baptism here:

This particular news paper is notorious for getting pissed when you hot link their pictures, so just go to that URL and press the images to see the next one.

PS: The reason for her name being Leah instead of Leia, is because if you say "lei'a" in my particular dialect, it means "sick of her". :)

1. Thanks for the post!

It gave me a laugh.

Glad I didn't name my daughter after a movie character (not that there is anything wrong with that).

2. Could have been worse.

Could have been Princess Chewbacca.

5. Exactly! (n/t)

3. She doesn't have a title (princess) but she is 4th in line to the throne.

How do you pronounce Leah in Norwegian?
Cheers! CB

4. You pronounce Leah

Le, like Le Blanc. Ah, like ah. :)

But it SOUNDS kinda like Leia anyway.
