Lenna

[hithereguyss]

Just come across this name today and really liked it. After some thoughts on it?

I prefer Leonora or Lenora which could be shortened to Lena or lenna but I prefer longer names you can shorted

It's like saying Lenny with a broad northern acccent

I’m ‘northern’. Nobody here or other places I’ve lived would say A as I.

I like it but there are so many L names popular right now, it will disappear into all the Lena, Luna, Lily, Lila, Lucy, Lyra, Lola type names.

Like it!

I'm also northern and can hear it in my head! There is no 'i' sound anyway. Lenny rnds in an ee sound

Oh I really like this!

Never come across a Lenna but it's a really beautiful name.

Leena is much nicer

I sound anywhere I’ve lived. Lancs, Manchester, north and west Yorks, Cumbria. Are you from Liverpool? That’s the only place I can imagine saying Lennie with an eee sound.

Too close to Lenny in a strong Mancunian accent.

Lena (lee-na) is nice though.

I’d use it as a shortening for Helena, which is a beautiful name.

I’m Manc so I hear it as Lenny too.

Lena is nice, the ee sounds takes away the Lenny-ness of it.

We have a Lena (Yelena). I'm from Manchester area and never had an issue. It's Len (like pen) -a

It's not bad but prefer Lena which I think has a much nicer sound.

I know a Lenna. She’s Polish. I really like it

It's quite nice but I prefer similar names like Lena, Lyra etc..

Do you like Leonor, Senna or Alanna

Lena, as in Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister) might be a bit kore familiar to people.

It just sounds like a million similar popular names as PP says.

I think it’s quite harsh sounding.

How's it's pronounced? Len-na like Jenna. Or Lee-na. I'd go for either Lena or Leena or she'll be forever correcting people like me.

@amylou8 , rhymes with Jenna. Lena is Leena or Layna, so there would be confusion. Lenna is Estonian. The nn in English means the e makes a short eh sound like in Lenny or Penny

I like it

Can't say I like it. Sounds like Leanna being said too fast.
