Middle name for Leonora! Thoughts?

56 replies

Hey, so I posted yesterday asking for thoughts on the names Leonora, Rosalie and Severine for our daughter due in four days. DH and I are about 95% sure we want to go with Leonora but still haven't finalised a middle name...

All the names we liked were fairly long and our surname is 4 syllable so we decided early on that the middle name would be a nice 1 syllable name to offset how long the rest is. These are our picks...

Leonora Kate
Leonora June
Leonora Jean
Leonora Skye
Leonora Belle
Leonora Joy

Any ratings/thoughts would be brilliant! Thanks!

I LOVE Leonora, and the ones that I like best from your list are:

Leonora Kate
Leonora Skye

And Leonora Grace was the other option that immediately sprang to mind.

It’s a gorgeous name!

Leonora Iris

Kate.

I think with Leonora something with a strong consonant works nicely.

Mumofgirls2017 · 17/06/2022 20:50

Skye or June!

frogswimming · 17/06/2022 20:25

Wouldn't it be nice for the cousins to share a middle name?

frogswimming · 17/06/2022 20:24

I thought Jane too.

My first thought on seeing your thread title was Leonora Jane so I will vote for June from your list! 😉

Leonora is glorious, I really like it.

Come back and tell us what you decide please. ☺️

I will do! 😊
I do think Jane is lovely but my sister used it her for her daughter's middle name.

How is Leonora pronounced? Lee-oh-nora or Lee-nora or something else? I'm just curious as I have never heard the name said out loud.
