Middle name for Leni

I think we're finally decided on Leni for our girls name 🥰 now I just need a middle name! Nothing is jumping out at me and I don't have any family names that I'm particular keen on. Any suggestions? Surname is Lawson.

Thanks! X

I wouldn’t go for Leni Lawson, given the infamous murderer Leonard Lawson, who went by Lennie Lawson.

I always love family names for middle names - my children have names from my side (first names of family members or people I love) as they have their Dad’s surname. Middle names are rarely used - why not honour someone you love and do something they would also cherish? I always think it’s a bit of a waste to use another name you like.

I think Leni is lovely but I would call her Helen or Helene and shorten it. What about Sabina for a middle name?

By the way this name is pronounced Ley nee. It’s not Lenny as in Lenny Henry.

I know of a little girl called Leni. Pronounced Lenny

No, it’s not LAY-nee.

It‘s pronounced Leh-nee, neither LEE nor LAY

Yay, Leni is gorgeous!
I like Lois with Leni.
And Laurel.
And Lark.
And Lettice! That one's a bit out there.
But for some reason the double L seems to work.

Leni Laurel Lawson 🤣

Given this thread was started in August 2024 I assume baby is now here and has been named. What did you call her in the end @sazzlondon?
