Leonie but I hate all the middle names

Jadviga · 12/02/2023 10:50

Leonora Jade

My favourite is Cynthia Rose, I think it sounds lovely. I also like Leonie and Larissa, both nice names. Other suggestions similar to your choices, would be Clarissa, Cassandra, Celina/Selina, Marissa, Lillian/Lilliana and Imelda.

Zelda is awful… Prisoner of Zelda

ofwarren · 09/02/2023 00:59

Leonie Jade
Clarabel will always be one of Thomas theTank Engines carriages to me.

ladyforallseasons · 09/02/2023 00:56

Larissa (from Dr Zhivago), Lara for short

Lalliella · 09/02/2023 00:34

Leonie Jade is lovely. Or Leonie Rose. Or Leonie Amber.

Roseyposeypudding · 08/02/2023 23:36

Zelda Pearl is VERY cool. Zinnia Pearl sounds good together too, but like Zinnia less. Leonie is nice but don’t like Jade as it’s what all the school bullies were called in the 00s 😂

mathanxiety · 08/02/2023 22:32

Clarabel
Leonie
Zelda

All gorgeous.

Timeforaliein · 08/02/2023 22:27

I know a Larissa (Lara for short) - lovely name (in fact over the years I have met three!) Prefer Larissa to Clarissa

Luredbyapomegranate · 08/02/2023 20:48

Zelda is rather fantastic in a roaring 20s sort of way, and Leonie is very nice. Clarabel is fussy but not terrible. The others are pretty terrible.

I’d go for Pear in the middle. Rose is done to death and Jade rather harsh.

Iguanainanigloo · 08/02/2023 18:24

I like Leonie best, but would team it with one of the other middle names if possible.

ChildrenOfTheQuorn · 08/02/2023 18:12

I really like Zelda. And I'm on the train any- middle-name-but-Rose.

AnotherNameChangeYes · 08/02/2023 17:59

Leonie definitely. Rose is so so overdone as a middle name though.

MajorCarolDanvers · 08/02/2023 17:59

I like Rose

Mortima · 08/02/2023 17:57

Either of the Z names would my preference from your list, but Pearl would be my least favourite middle name option.

Mumofgirls2017 · 08/02/2023 17:27

Clarabel, Leonie, Zelda

Choconut · 08/02/2023 16:34

I love Leonie - but not with Jade which is just awful. Leonie Rose is beautiful.

timoteigirl · 08/02/2023 16:31

Larissa best, then Clarabel.

2crossedout1 · 08/02/2023 16:20

Clarabel Rose is my favourite

Elspethelf · 08/02/2023 16:19

I like Zelda Jade

BridieConvert · 08/02/2023 15:43

Larissa (or Clarissa) Jade for me ☺️

Twoinapod · 08/02/2023 15:30

Zelda is the best

slowquickstep · 08/02/2023 14:57

Cynthia was a well know Madam back in the day

WinterCarlisle · 08/02/2023 14:43

Your user name is fab.

I can’t say any of your baby names without affecting an American Deep South accent. Are they for an actual baby or are you writing a book set in Louisiana in 1952?

Pearl - SUCH a lovely name as a first name
Cynthia - not a fan. Sounds uptight middle management
Clarabel - too fussy. Clara on it’s own is great
Larissa - it’s ok. Prefer Marissa
Not keen on Zennia / Zinnia or Jade
Rose as a first name is also great. I love Rosa too.

These are obviously just my opinions though and you’d prob not like my DC’s names! It’s all personal choice. Congratulations on your baby or novel 😁
