I just met a little girl named Lenity, I’d never heard of it before but I think I like it. It’s like a smash between the modern [name_u]Lennon[/name_u] & [name_m]Lenox[/name_m] combined with a virtue name. What are your thoughts?
Edited: I put this in a post but I’ll add it up here. Lenity is an
actual word meaning treating others with kindness or leniency. I had to look it up! (It also has some legal terms attached to it) So for me it doesn’t seem much different than Charity or Verity etc.
Hmm, interesting. I think I’d prefer something like [name_f]Lindy[/name_f]. That extra syllable in there doesn’t appeal.
It reminds me of [name_u]Kennedy[/name_u] and [name_f]Liberty[/name_f]. I don’t think I’m a fan of it. Invented names always sound strange to me.
I should add having lenity means being kind or lenient towards someone else (I had to look it up and see if it was actually a thing or totally made up) so for me it feels no more made up than using [name_f]Amity[/name_f], [name_f]Verity[/name_f] or [name_f]Charity[/name_f]. But I get where you’re coming from.
It’s not one that I myself would consider using but I do appreciate its uniqueness and right now I think I just have a thing for names ending in ‘ity’ I just seem to be collecting them
It is a word! Meaning treating others with kindness or leniency
Oh, I didn’t know it was a word! That’s nice to know. It’s not my style, but it’s a decent name.
Being an actual word/virtue name, I actually really like it a lot! It reminds me of [name_f]Amity[/name_f]
Lenity is actually pretty cute!
I did think immediately of leniency which sounds like someone being excused for a crime. I don’t know about this name… I’m glad it’s working for her!
It’s cute but I can’t really hear it as anything other than [name_u]Kennedy[/name_u] with an L.
It has a cool sound, but it reminds me of a misspelled leniency.
I like Lenity!
It’s quirky and cool
I kind of like it! Lenity [name_f]Jane[/name_f] or Lenity [name_f]Jade[/name_f] would be cool.
Nice! ^.^
@fearlessfirefly It isn’t made up. 
I think she responded already earlier in the thread acknowledging that it isn’t made up
Yep, that’s right. I had never heard of it before and didn’t know it was a word, so I assumed it was made up @skylerros
The legal term means more like leniency than kindness. So the sound is nice, but it doesn’t really work as a virtue name for me.
