Behind the Name: Comments for the name Leandra

Comments for LEANDRA:

Wow! Can't believe that this name isn't that common! I thought it would be like Andrea and Alondra, but much more rarer! I LOVE this name and so does my sister.

Leandra is a very beautiful name.

I /personally/ LOVE this name. I am currently planning to write a story with the main character named Leandra. I think the meaning would be 'lioness' or 'lion of a woman', as it's the feminine form of Leander, which means 'lion of a man'.

I like it. It's pretty.

I read that Leandra is Greek and means "commanding as a lioness."

Leander sounds much nicer, and it strikes me as a unisex sounding name. This just sounds like someone adjusted the ending. But personal choice, neh?

Was in 'The body of Christopher Creed', she was Torey's girlfriend in the first half of the book.

The name doesn't sound particularly pleasant to me. I don't like the somewhat harsh sound of ''andra''.

Leandra is used in Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian, although it's not too common. It is NOT a modern creation, and it certainly isn't a combination of Lee and Andrea. I do like Leandra, but it certainly is not an English name! [noted -ed]

I think Leandra is so pretty! I'm surprised it's not used more often.
