Eremia Leonora

[Emedrina]

Thoughts?

I think Leonora is lovely but I'm not sure how to pronounce the first name properly

Sounds like a Harry Potter spell or a type of disease.

Sounds like a cleaning product and like you’re trying too hard to be quirky / upper middle class. Sorry, just being honest they would be my first thoughts

I dont know how to say the first name..
Error-mia?
Its a no from me on both

Leonora is beautiful.

I'm not so sure about Eremia, tbh.

why? Would you like to be called that?

We live in Poland so here it is pronounced as E-RE-MEE-AH

Where does Eremia come from? I haven't heard it before.

Leonora's lovely.

I read it as Enema Leonora 😳.... so the first part is a no from me!

Leonora is nice and I love the idea of Leo as a shortened informal name for a girl too.

Yep. Can you flip the order?

'Ere Mia get tha' int woodshed.

Agree that Eremia sounds like some kind of illness to English ears, but if you're in Poland that won't matter. Isn't there a Polish Mumsnet equivalent you could ask?
I quite like Leonora though.

this is an old Slavic name, the feminine version of Jeremy

Is it possible to spell Eremia differently? I think it would be read as Er-EE-me-a in England. Er-eh-ME-a might be spelt Ereemia, Erramia or something.

Hang on, not my first suggestion there. Whish syllable do you emphasise?

yep - Mumsnet is largely UK based - apologies

Could it be Yeramia, or is it very much an E sound? If I try to pronounce Jer without sounding the J it's more like a Y sound than an E.

I haven’t heard it before, it sounds beautiful.

Sorry it reminds me of a rare medical condition.

Sorry it reminds me of a rare medical condition.

Same.

I think Leonora is nicer than Eremia.

Too many syllables, IMO, so comes across as fussy and pretentious. Also, the first name sounds like some sort of disease, and the second name is too similar to a famous brand of fabric conditioner.

I haven't heard Eremia before but I think it sounds very pretty.

Eremia would be tricky in the U.K., but if it’s Polish and you live in Poland I think it sounds nice. I like Leonora but that’s easier on British ears. Go for it!

Leonora is lovely.
