[name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] is adorable
My screen is jumping around and I meant to vote for [name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]. But that’s because I pronounce [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] the [name_m]French[/name_m] way with the stress on the last syllable like this: mad-[name_m]LENN[/name_m]. If you’d be pronouncing [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] the English way, with stress on the first, MAD-uh-lin, then I wouldn’t choose it.
I think [name_f]Leona[/name_f]'s middle name flows best with the stress on the last syllable, so either [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] or the [name_m]French[/name_m] pronunciation of [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] would be lovely.
Use the names you love! [name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is so pretty. I think [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] just upsets the simplicity a little.
I love [name_f]Jane[/name_f], but [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Leona[/name_f] sound so adorable together that I say [name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]!
I voted for [name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] and would definitely save [name_f]Jane[/name_f] for a sister. But I’m not crazy about the N sounds in both names. What about [name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f], [name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_u]Meredith[/name_u], [name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], or [name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] instead?
Thanks for all your feedback! @davisellu, I actually [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_u]Meredith[/name_u]. [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] was high on my favorites list, but DH didn’t like it. He said that he actually likes it as a middle name for [name_f]Leona[/name_f], though, so that’s on the table, too
[name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]!
