Middle name for Leonora! Thoughts?

56 replies

Hey, so I posted yesterday asking for thoughts on the names Leonora, Rosalie and Severine for our daughter due in four days. DH and I are about 95% sure we want to go with Leonora but still haven't finalised a middle name...

All the names we liked were fairly long and our surname is 4 syllable so we decided early on that the middle name would be a nice 1 syllable name to offset how long the rest is. These are our picks...

Leonora Kate
Leonora June
Leonora Jean
Leonora Skye
Leonora Belle
Leonora Joy

Any ratings/thoughts would be brilliant! Thanks!

They all sound good
What letter does the surname begin with?

DisforDarkChocolate · 17/06/2022 18:37

I like Joy the most out of your list.

midsomermurderess · 17/06/2022 18:39

I like Jean.

IamEarthymama · 17/06/2022 18:42

My first thought on seeing your thread title was Leonora Jane so I will vote for June from your list! 😉

Leonora is glorious, I really like it.

Come back and tell us what you decide please. ☺️

Leonora is lovely.
Of your list I like Kate and Joy best.

Jane would work well.

How is Leonora pronounced? Lee-oh-nora or Lee-nora or something else? I'm just curious as I have never heard the name said out loud.

I do think Jane is lovely but my sister used it her for her daughter's middle name.

May?
and I know you said one syllable but Martha would run nicely.

Wouldn't it be nice for the cousins to share a middle name?
