What do you all think of Leonie for a girls name?
Middle name will be Emma.

I taught a Leonie (Lee-OH-nee) and she was an 'interesting' child so she puts me off.

Also makes me think leonine (lion-like) which I find masculine.

Sorry for being negative.

I like it but have never been sure how to pronounce it! Is it Lee-onn-ee with the emphasis on the first syllable or Lee-own-ee with the emphasis on the middle syllable?

I really like this name, DH not keen though - for no particular reason though. Also, Emma a great name. But I am biased..! thumbs up from me!
