Middle name for Leni

[sazzlondon]

I think we're finally decided on Leni for our girls name 🥰 now I just need a middle name! Nothing is jumping out at me and I don't have any family names that I'm particular keen on. Any suggestions? Surname is Lawson.

Thanks! X

Lenny is a boys name no?

and that’s a hell of an alliteration!!

Sofia
Matilda
Natalia
Elizabeth

Leni is a girls name.

why so rude? It’s not “a hell of an alliteration”, it’s just an alliteration surely.

OP, I think a lot of other names flow well with Leni - as there are no meaningful family names that spring to mind, is there anything meaningful like a flower you like that also doubles up as a name.

otherwise, any names on your shortlist that you’d like to use as well?

Leni Charlotte
Leni Elizabeth
Leni Jean
Leni Skye
Leni Sophia
Leni Grace

Henry

Yay, Leni is gorgeous!
I like Lois with Leni.
And Laurel.
And Lark.
And Lettice! That one's a bit out there.
But for some reason the double L seems to work.

I like Matilda and Elizabeth also. I think a longer name goes nicely with a short first name.

Alexandra

Leni for a girl is a shortened form of Helena, I think it's a beautiful name OP.

How about these middle names

Leni Jade
Leni Jay (LJ)
Leni Avery
Leni Ella
Leni EVA

@RubiesandRose Leni Jay or Jade would be nice too! I think it needs to have only one syllable, or two. But not more.

Leni is gorgeous!

Leni Josephine
Leni Estella
Leni Alexandra
Leni Alicia
Leni Madeleine
Leni Elizabeth
Leni Anneliese
Leni Sophia
Leni Margarita
Leni Susannah
Leni Julianna
Leni Isabella
Leni Victoria
Leni Catalina
Leni Abigail

Avoid middle names beginning with O.

Not a vowel initial.

Something with /M/ sounds really good to me. Margaret jumps out at me, or maybe a variant like Margot

Matilda
Mirabel
Marlene (I think Leni Marlene is beautiful, like Lili Marlene in the old song) Mar-Laine not Marleeeeene like Boycie's wife in Only Fools and Horses
Madeleine

I think Leni Lawson sounds cool!

Elizabeth flows well.

Leni is lovely!

I like some of the suggestions above:
Leni Alexandra
Leni Margarita
Leni Susannah

How about…
Leni Jean
Leni Penelope
Leni Valentina
Leni Lou

Leni mae
Leni Rae
Leni jo
Leni
I don't thing traditional names like Elizabeth would work !

Marina

I teach a girl called Lenny (short for Eleanor) and have known a couple of German Lenis. I like it!

Leni Jane Lawson

Leni Rose Lawson

Leni Grace Lawson

Leni Rae Lawson. (My favourite!)

Leni Fern Lawson

Leni Joy Lawson

Leni Jade Lawson

I do think a one syllable middle name sounds better.

I really like Leni Lawson.

I'd probably choose a longer middle name. I like the suggestion about of Leni Elizabeth

Other suggestions
Leni Juliette (LJ) or Leni Josephine
Leni Charlotte
Leni Matilda

Or one syllable, I like Leni Rae suggested above and Leni Jade (LJ)
Leni June, Leni Paige

Just out of interest - is it pronounced Lenny, Layny or Leeny? it's one of those names I never know how to pronounce!

Pronounced Lenny :)

Thanks x

Thanks, I like the sound of all of these!

I like Louise!

Leni Louise Lawson 😍

I have an alliteration name, gained on marriage and gave dd one too. It's fine.

Gotta say I love Leni as a name, I desperately tried to persuade a friend to name her dd Leni, but she chose Sienna (where's the bluh emoji when you need it)!

and then I saw

Leni Jean Lawson. my heart soared. it's lovely

Thanks!
