MN for Leonie: Add One, Axe One?

Girl Names
1

I’m trying to find a middle name to go with [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] (“lee-oh-nee” - I like lay-oh-nee but the first one is how it would be said where I reside).

If you could eliminate one of the following possibilities, what would you axe? If you had to suggest a new middle name, what would that be?

[name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_f]Astoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_f]Paloma[/name_f]
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_f]Sansa[/name_f] – It has a prominent pop culture reference, but I can’t shake how much I like the sound of the name.
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_f]Viveca[/name_f] – like this name, and could be a subtle nod at two close friends with the -ica/-eca ending
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_u]March[/name_u] – Family likes month names. I don’t like [name_u]June[/name_u]/[name_u]July[/name_u]/[name_f]May[/name_f] with [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] specifically, won’t use [name_f]April[/name_f] as it’s my MN. Most other months don’t feel as wearable for someone’s name.

Honoring names aren’t a must-have but I’m keeping them in mind as an option. I’m looking for something uncommon, perhaps a bit quirky, but with a “calmer” vibe to it as [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] feels very zippy to me and I want the name to have balance.

[name_f]TIA[/name_f]!

I would axe [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_f]Astoria[/name_f]. It just seems like a mouthful.

3

I’d axe [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] too. It’s just too much, and I don’t like [name_f]Astoria[/name_f].

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_f]Thalia[/name_f]?

Thanks for the feedback so far!

@omri: [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] is pretty but it would be too close to my cousin’s daughter [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] for me.

[name_m]Axe[/name_m]: [name_f]Sansa[/name_f]
[name_m]Add[/name_m]: [name_f]Sanna[/name_f] or [name_f]Perdita[/name_f]

@goodkarmavt: [name_f]Sanna[/name_f] is another option I’ve considered. It might end up sticking, though I’d like to find alternative names ending in -sa or the “zuh” sound too since I find it pretty. [name_f]Perdita[/name_f] is lovely, I’m not sure if I’d use it though, I’ll have to let it marinate a while.
