Star Wars Names
- Hal
Origin:
Diminutive of Harold and HenryDescription:
Could Hal be the Jack, Max, or Gus of the future? It just might happen in the new nickname environment. Hank Azaria put it on his son's birth certificate.
- Han
- Inyri
- Jace
Origin:
Hebrew, diminutive of JasonMeaning:
"the Lord is salvation"Description:
Jace may sound like only half a name -- it's usually pronounced like the first half of Jason though some may consider it a spelling-out of the initials J. C. -- but it's a popular choice for baby boys. Jace has been heard on such TV shows as Teen Mom 2 and Duck Dynasty.
- Jacen
- Jessa
Origin:
Short form of JessicaDescription:
Once rare, this streamlined form of Jessica has been boosted by two very different television figures: the Jemima Kirke character on HBO series Girls, and reality television daughter Jessa Duggar.

- Jaina
- Keiran
Origin:
Spelling variation of KieranMeaning:

Origin:
Portuguese and Spanish diminutive of Orlando, RolandoDescription:
Lively nickname, but we'd prefer the more substantial Orlando.

Russian, diminutive of Larissa or LarisaMeaning:
"citadel"Description:
This is an alternative to Laura or Lauren made romantic by Dr Zhivago, and badass by video-game heroine Lara Croft.
- Leia
Origin:
Spelling variation of Leya, Spanish; HindiMeaning:
"the law; lion"Description:
This spelling variation of Leya was popularized by the Star Wars films, but is still firmly in the US Top 1000 many years later. This spelling is also probably preferred as it is clearer in pronunciation to the original Hindi name, Leya (which sometime gets pronounced Lee-ah).

Luke is a cool-yet-strong Biblical name with a relaxed cowboy feel, which has been on the rise since the advent of Luke Skywalker.
