I had a classmate called Leonie at primary school and I love the name - but nobody ever seems to agree on how to pronounce it. My friend got called both LEE-uh-nie and li-OH-nie and answered to both, to the extent that I’m now completely blanking on which one she actually preferred.

I know a Larissa too and always thought that was an unusual, stylish kind of name. Cynthia is nice but can people spell it these days? Not keen on the others. ‘Z’ names always sound a bit too ‘fantasy epic’ for my liking, sorry.

Let's go Leonie Pearl

Theresahippopotamusonourroofeatingcake · 08/02/2023 14:33

Leonie Rose

Rauha · 08/02/2023 14:32

Cynthia Rose

FayCarew · 08/02/2023 14:32

No to Rose as a middle name.
Pearl - nice meaning but I don't like the sound
Jade - ok

Clarabel is awful
Not sure if Cynthia is awful, but Cindy is nice
Larissa - not sure. Clarissa seems more complete
Leonie - not sure
Zennia - Zinnia is better
Zelda - fab

I'd go for Zelda Jade

Leonie is lovely, also quite like Cynthia.

AdaColeman · 08/02/2023 14:17

Leonie is lovely, and is my favourite.
I like Clarissa much more than Larissa.

I like Zelda.

I'm not keen on Cynthia or Clarabel or Zennia, and Rose is hugely popular as a middle name so I wouldn't choose it.

Cynthia Rose or Zelda Pearl get my vote from the options on offer

MissHavishamsMouldyOldCake · 08/02/2023 14:06

Don't like Cynthia or Clarabel.

MissHavishamsMouldyOldCake · 08/02/2023 14:05

I like Leonie and Zelda. I like Zinnia, as in the plant, rather than Zennia.

Larissa is nice too but I suspect people would constantly hear Clarissa instead.
