Middle names for Lenore

Hi all,

DH and I are expecting our first, a girl, late July. We decided early on that Lenore would be her first name, we’ve since been stuck on middle names. It’s a tradition on my side of the family to have two middles names (usually they’re more on the uncommon side), and I of course would like to continue that. I’d love to hear any suggestions on two middle names that flow nicely with Lenore but are not just fillers Smile

A couple of names DH and I like:
Celine
Delphine
Genevieve

Is Lenore two syllables (à la washing powder) or three (Leh-nor-uh)?

@ILoveStickers

Is Lenore two syllables (à la washing powder) or three (Leh-nor-uh)?
I was just going to ask the same thing

I think Leonora Delphine +1 syllable would be pretty e.g.

Leonora Delphine Rose

I don't like Lenore though.

You're naming her after a fabric conditioner?

My mum is Lenore (I adore it as a name!) and her mn is Maria.

Maybe Lenore Celine Vivianne? Or Lenore Celeste?

Strokethefurrywall · 22/05/2021 19:03

You know Lenore is an actual name right? Not just a fabric conditioner?!

KibeththeWalker · 22/05/2021 19:05

Well it is a name, of a dead girl in a poem by Poe.

Lenore.... Comfort

Well, someone had to say it!Grin

ILoveStickers · 22/05/2021 19:57

The problem with Lenore Rose or even Lenore Celeste is that they sound a bit too much like scents of Lenor...

Lenore Elizabeth
Lenore Genevieve

Lenore Genevieve Rose

Whilst it may be an actual name, everyone will think of the fabric conditioner.
What about Leonora?
