HelpRe: Do you like the name Lenni-girl
in reply to a message by Jordin
I think it's good for a nickname but not a full name.
For the full name, depending on how you pronounce these it could be: Lenore, Lenora, Lena, Lienne, Elena, Eleni, Helena, etc.
Dean sounds like a boy. Kate is pretty good. I prefer long names though, so I'd want something like Lenora Katherine 'Lenni Kate', but Kate as a full middle name is good too. One of the comments said it was dated but I'm not sure. I think boomers had Kathy (so that's dated) and millenials had Katie (but that doesn't sound dated yet), maybe Kate was more gen x? but to me it just sounds neutral and timeless.
ETA: Lenni wouldn't be my favorite spelling. I'd pick Leni, Lennie, or Lenny. Lenny is a little boyish but if it's a nickname it's fine. As a full name for a girl, Leni or Lennie would be better. Lenni looks more unbalanced to me.
