[Opinions] Nerys and Lenna

I'm not sure why, but the name Nerys is really calling to me. And - as evidenced by how little I've posted on the opinions board in the past year or so - its the first name that's called to me in a while. What do you think of Nerys? Combo ideas:
Nerys Cordelia
Nerys BellroseAnother name I've been liking a lot lately is Lenna. Originally, I was thinking of it as a nn for Lenore / Lenora, but I think, given its similarity to names like Anna, it could stand on its own. WDTY of Lenna?Combo ideas:
Lenna Elspeth
Lenna ClementineAnd an out-there combo that I think sounds awesome, but would never use: Lenna Julius :)Any other combo ideas? More are always welcome.What are you favorite girls names that don't end in -a?What boys names do you think sound good with Nerys and Lenna? Feel free to respond to as much or as little of this post as interests you.

Nerys is pretty old-fashioned in Wales and reminds me of old ladies, but it's a nice name and is probably due for a comeback.
I actually know a Lenna, whose full name is Helen - so I'd assume it was an nn for something, but I don't see why you couldn't use it as a full name if you wanted to, it's a lot nicer than most of the made-up names out there.

I think Cordelia is lovely as the mn but I'm not keen on Nerys.
I want to like it and also Nerissa, but there's just something about it that puts me off. Still, it has the virtue of being underused.
