Leisha is a feminine name with several possible origins. It may be a variant of Alicia (from the Germanic Adelaide, meaning 'noble type'), or a feminine form of the Irish name Liam. Some consider it a creative modern combination of Lee and Isha, or a variation of Leisha/Leesha, which has Hebrew roots meaning 'woman' or 'wife.' The name gained modest recognition in America during the 1970s and 1980s but remains relatively uncommon. Leisha has a gentle, flowing quality with its soft consonants and feminine ending. The name strikes a balance between familiarity and distinctiveness—recognizable without being common. For parents seeking a somewhat unusual name that's still intuitive to pronounce and spell, Leisha offers an appealing option with multiple cultural connections.

Derived from either the Laura/Lauren/Laurence family, ultimately from the Latin laurus meaning "bay laurel", or a variation of Lorraine and Lorena, names associated with the French province of Lorraine, Lorene was familiar in the US in the early 20th century.

Marvel, now a character name in The Hunger Games series, was a miracle name of yesterday, on the girls' Social Security list until 1941 and reaching a high of 487 at the turn of the last century, when Marva was also in style. 
 These days it does have something of a comic book feel, what with Marvel Comics, Captain Marvel and Mary Marvel, and despite the fact that Marvel is a male character in The Hunger Games, we can see some parents reviving this name for their own little marvel of a baby girl. That's what rocker Pete Wentz, dad of creatively-named sons Bronx Mowgli and Saint Laszlo, did recently when he named his daughter Marvel Jane.

Memory

Mikasa references Mount Mikasa, a mountain in Japan with three peaks, thought to look like bamboo hats. The Mikasa battleship was named after the mountain.
