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 think Leni Lawson sounds cool!

Elizabeth flows well.

Not a vowel initial.

Something with /M/ sounds really good to me. Margaret jumps out at me, or maybe a variant like Margot

Matilda
Mirabel
Marlene (I think Leni Marlene is beautiful, like Lili Marlene in the old song) Mar-Laine not Marleeeeene like Boycie's wife in Only Fools and Horses
Madeleine

Avoid middle names beginning with O.

@RubiesandRose Leni Jay or Jade would be nice too! I think it needs to have only one syllable, or two. But not more.

RubiesandRose · 09/08/2024 16:51

Leni for a girl is a shortened form of Helena, I think it's a beautiful name OP.

How about these middle names

Leni Jade
Leni Jay (LJ)
Leni Avery
Leni Ella
Leni EVA

Sofia
Matilda
Natalia
Elizabeth

I like Matilda and Elizabeth also. I think a longer name goes nicely with a short first name.

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 is a girls name.

why so rude? It’s not “a hell of an alliteration”, it’s just an alliteration surely.

OP, I think a lot of other names flow well with Leni - as there are no meaningful family names that spring to mind, is there anything meaningful like a flower you like that also doubles up as a name.

otherwise, any names on your shortlist that you’d like to use as well?

Leni Charlotte
Leni Elizabeth
Leni Jean
Leni Skye
Leni Sophia
Leni Grace

Lenny is a boys name no?

and that’s a hell of an alliteration!!
