Longer name for Leni

[Pinkhats]

Husband and I love Leni for DD due early next year but I’d like to give her a longer name on BC as I know it’s a bit nicknamey and she may want to be known as something else when older. So far we’ve come up with
Elena - probably go with this if we don’t find anything else
Helena- we don’t really like this
Selena - husband doesn’t like this

Are we missing any other options that could work ?

Leonora
Leoni

I immediately thought of Leonora too.

You could try
Leona
Leoni
Leonora
Elinor
Marlena
Madeleine (pronounced Mad-e-len the French way)

My favourite is Madeleine

Ileni

Leonie

Aleni

I immediately though Eleanor. I also know a Lena who's called Leni.

Magdalena
Lenore

If you love the name Leni, just go with it! Why bother giving your kid a name if you think it sounds too nicknamey and can't own it? Heidi Klum named her daughter Leni.

I've got a relative called Lenka, Leni for short

Marlene

Love the name Leni.

I’d use it as a nickname for:
Helen
Eleanor
Eleni (if any Greek connection)

Celine?

How could you miss Leonora?

This!

Yes I love Leonie

Eleni
Eleanor
Madeleine
Helen/Helena
Ellen

I wanted Leni for a girl, as a nod to my mum Lenore.

The longer name would have been Valentina.

I like short names and I love Lena (Len-a) but I also love Helena

Eleanor or Elena

Charlene

Why not just use Leni?

Lenia

valentina
leonora
eleonora
milena
clementine?

This. If it's a name in it's own right, it's not a nickname.

Lenita
Maddalena
Magdalena
