I absolutely love this name, and it's pronounced Lin-or-a, not Leon-or-a.

No offense but I just don't like the sound of this name. There are many much prettier names out there.

Other websites list the orgin of this name as Greek. The Greek name means "compassion" or "light".

This name sounds weird, makes me think of a leotard, and the 'n' makes it sound kind of nasal.

Perhaps it is pronounced lin-o-ra in English but this is an Italian name and its pronunciation is leo-no-ra.
