Help[Opinions] Re: Middle name for Leonoor
in reply to a message by MariaNikolaievnaRomanova
Oh God, I just realised, how pretty would Evangeline Rachel Drozha be with a last name that starts with E. The initials would be ERDE, which means earth in German. Lol, just btw.
I much prefer Leonoor over Eleonoor - I've never been a great fan of Ele-starting names, and Eleonora-whatever is so BtN-trendy. Leonoor is delightful, there are many wonderful associations with it, like Beethoven (Leonore), Daniel Deronda (Leonora) and E. A. Poe (Lenore)! It is lovely, and I also like Liba. If you don't feel so attracted by it anymore, how about Libena? I think the meaning and phonetics are very pretty. Liberia? Alba? Out of Lib-names also Liberty belongs to my beloved GPs - a little cliché, but still adorable.
Leonoor Marina Morgane came first to my mind
Leonoor Elvira Simone
Leonoor Olivie/Olive
Leonoor Azura (this is sugary! I still like it)
Leonoor Penelope
Leonoor Zlata Marcia
Leonoor Celeste
Leonoor April
Leonoor Myrtle Albina
Leonoor Irene Mathilde
Leonoor Sibyl Euphemia
I wasn't quite sure, how you pronounce Leonoor LE-aw-noor or le-aw-NOOR, so the first collection of names is for pronuniation, where the last syllable is emphazed, and the second one for LE-aw-noor.

I KNOW! ERDE WOULD BE AWESOME!
Excuse my caps, but I thought I was geeky for sekritly thinking that. Unfortunately, neither of our last names start with 'E'. :( And the Flemish/Dutch pronunciation of Rachel is so pretty. *sigh* The whole combo is so pretty. And all those lovely connotations is exactly why I love it so. The L jumps out at me and I think that's why I slightly prefer Leonoor over Eleonoor.
Leonoor is being pronounced 'leh-ah-NORRR' (rolling R).
Ooooo, you brought up Irene...that one is spectacular. I really, REALLY like that name. I mean, I like most of the names you've suggested (Zlata! Mathilde! Celeste!), but Irene... *puts it on the list*
Thank you so much for all your help!
