Lenore?

[charltonred]

Love the name Lenore with nn Leni but our surname is Norris , Lenore Norris? It doesn’t work does it ?

Persil? Fairy?

Well it’s not for me.
Leonore or Leonora maybe but Lenore just sounds like you got it a bit wrong and got confused with the fabric softener brand (I appreciate that isn’t the case but it gives that impression!)

Nevermore!

I don't think Lenore Norris works, OP.

Apart altogether from the fabric softener...

I would just put Leni on the BC. It's a lovely name.

I would rather pick Eleanor than the fabric conditioner.

That's what I thought too. I really like it!

Or Leonie

Leonora would be OK, but Lenore is much too akin to the fabric softener brand name.

Lenorie
Leonora
Leonore

Are better sounding...agree with the fabric softener comments with Lenore

How about Ariel as a first name and then Lenore as a middle name - you have to put the detergent in before the fabric softener.

🤣

Or Lainey?

Yes, like @EvelynBeatrice mentioned, the oldest daughter of the Spanish king Felipe is called Leonor. Leonor, Princess of Asturias.

There is also Countess Leonore of Orange-Nassau, daughter of Prince Constantijn of the Netherlands, and Princess Leonore of Sweden, daughter of the Swedish princess Madeleine.

I think Leonore/Leonor is a beautiful name!

I don’t see what sounds wrong with Lenore Norris? Is it the repeated letters? I think that just makes the name sound more memorable and lyrical. But I suppose if you want to break up the sounds a bit more, then better known Lenora/Leonora could be an option too.

Lenore makes me think of the cool/gothic Edgar Allan Poe poem before the fabric softener- but even if it makes people think of that, it’s not particularly dodgy or a big deal is it? (a bit like Clementine’s also a fruit, India a country, Scarlet a colour etc etc etc)

While I do prefer classic Eleanor, I think Lenore is quite pretty too - so if you love it, I say go for it.

Fabric softener. Leoni?

1: Fabric softener
2: The Wife in Taken

Lenore Norris is lovely.
Would any of these suit you better:

Leonor Norris
Elena Norris - EH,Leh,nuh .. Leni
Alanna Norris - eh-LAN-uh .. nick name Lanni

Lenni sounds very much like Lemmie (from Motorhead!) Or a diminuation of Leonard

I don’t mind the name at all but I can’t see it without hearing “hey Lenora” from those “working with gen z reels” that clog up my social media. Lenora is particularly whiny and ridiculous . I clearly spend too much time scrolling 😁

Not quite the same but I went to school with a girl called Lorelle and she was always being called L'Oréal...

What about Eleanor or Eleni

I tend to agree mostly. I do prefer Lenore over Eleanor, and I think, although Lenore Norris does sound lyrical, it can also be too sing-songy and rhyme-y.
