Irene is for her great grandmother, and Leona was one of the only names we could agree upon.
I liked Cecily, Portia, and Afton. He like Scarlett, Vivian, Victoria, Priscilla, and Parker. Leona/Liana and Eleanor we both liked. I knew my husband had good taste it just wasn’t the same as mine. Eleanor was more popular than i usually go for and between Leona and Liana i thought Liana would blend in and Leona would stand out.
Many have asked if Leona is a family name and its not. At first i was worried I’d given her an old lady name due to the prevalence of the question but realized it was only being asked because it’s vintage and unique.
Leona was chosen early on in the pregnancy and it stuck. Our girl is finally here and I’m pleased many are drooling over the name (and if they’re not they’ve kept it to themselves )
I love her name, both first and middle. [name_f]Leona[/name_f] is actually my favorite out of the many (beautiful) names on your lists. Congratulations!
Thank you! [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] was my front runner forever, it was tough to give up. But my husband just never liked it and i wanted us both to love the name
(and if they’re not they’ve kept it to themselves 
)
Congratulations on your precious daughter!
