I'd bet at least a one of them has the middle name Leia. (And that poor girl probably also has brothers named Obi-Wan and Chewie.) I just had to check: last year, 287 baby girls were named Princess.

When we got our new dog, my first instinct was to name her Molly but I know too many human babies named Molly now! Instead we went with Princess Leia. Which is a human name, too, but if you name your baby Princess Leia, well her sharing her name with a dog is the least of your worries.
