Thoughts on Lenny?

[SamuelHarper]

Leonard would be on the BC.

Thoughts?

I would prefer Leo as a nn personally I think, although I'm not a huge fan of Leonard tbh.

Cute

The thing is though is that although Leo is in the name, it obviously naturally shortens to Lenny.

Leo is much nicer imo and a more natural shortening for Leonard or Leonardo (pronounced Leo-nard or Leo-nardo)

The name Lennard would shorten to Lenny.

Leonard is pronounced Len ard???

Lenny is cute. I like it.

I've never heard Leonard pronounced "Leo-nard"

the leonardo I know pronounces it, lee-an-ardo. Well his parents do, he's only little. I have never heard it pronounced leo-nardo.

Love it, go for it!

I love Leonard. Lenny seems a perfectly nice nickname too.

I think it's very cool, like the delectable Lenny Kravitz.

Lenny reminds me of Of Mice And Men (spelt differently though) so I couldn't do it.

Leonardo is pronounced Leo-nardo, but Leonard is definitely pronounced Lennard. And is "Lennard" spelt that way even a name?

My brother is a Lennie. Go for it!

In the dark ages there was a Schools programme reading series which featured a very odd lion glove puppet called Lenny. I expect it is somewhere on YouTube.

Leonard is ok as long as your surname isn't Goodman.

Love it.

No Lenny was the challenged one in the beany on Crossroads.
I

That was Benny.

Isn't Lenny the Simpleton in Mice & Men? or am I wrong?

the one who had the mouse in his pocket and killed it?

Love Leonard/Lenny!

I like it, a lot ! 😄

I stand corrected!

Do it! I have a Leonard known as Lenny and we get lots of compliments on his name. Lenny does seem to be growing in popularity; I know three others. We do get the odd 'Lee-oh-nard' mispronunciation though.

1st. 'Tell me about the rabbits, George?' Mice and Men
2nd. Long haired metaller or hippy.

Lenny is a lovely name, but I'd stay away from Henry or Bruce as middle names.

Also never heard of Leonard pronounced Lee-o-nard.
