I like both. Lenore is nice. It's Poe-ish and therefore a little dark. It's closer to Lenor than Leonore though, and Leonore feels more complete and fancier in a way. On the other hand, if you want "leh-nor", Leonore isn't intuitive and a lot of people are going to pronounce it "lee-oh-nore" (or (if German) "lee-oh-nor-a" maybe?).

I think it makes a more 'natural' middle name than it does first name, at least when I was trying to make combos. I think it makes a solid middle.
