What are your thoughts? What would you nickname (if anything)? Thanks

I only ask about nicknames because I'm not too keen on Nora or Lenny. Quite like the idea of Leo for a girl but obviously it's a very popular boys' name at the moment..

if I had a baby called Leonora I’d probably shorten to ‘Le-le’ on instinct. I like Nora though.

@Zampa Leonore is beautiful too!

She's named after the heroine in Fidelio, which makes us sound like intellectuals, but we're not!

Very pretty. Lots of shortening potential. See what sticks when she’s born.

I have a Leonore and she was mainly called Leo, until she started school with a Leo and now she doesn't want a boys' name.

She doesn't mind Nornor, Norster, Neenor or Noodle!

Really pretty, a lovely name.
Sure some nicknames will be posted soon but nicknames tend to work best when they fit the actual child you have in front of you.
There's loads of options.

I know it's not the same but it reminds me of Edgar Allen Poe. I like the name
