Thoughts on Leilana?

I just recently discovered this name, and I’m in love! What are your thoughts? What do you picture when you hear this name? [name_m]How[/name_m] does it compare to [name_f]Leilani[/name_f] for you?

I thought some cute nn’s could be [name_f]Lana[/name_f], [name_u]Laney[/name_u], Lei and if it’s paired with a simple mn like [name_f]Beth[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Mae[/name_f], etc. a cute nn could be [name_f]Lana[/name_f]/[name_u]Laney[/name_u] [name_f]Beth[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f]…

If the mn was [name_f]Claire[/name_f] a nn could be [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] like L.C. (Initials). Too much of a stretch?

Also how do you guys feels about having multiple nicknames? Is it too confusing?

Thanks & im excited to hear your opinions! ”

Very pretty, I think it works just as well as [name_f]Leilani[/name_f] which is a gorgeous name. I may be biased as I have a sister [name_f]Leila[/name_f].

I love it. Leilana is very pretty.

I also think Leilana is really beautiful! I think I even prefer it to [name_f]Leilani[/name_f], just slightly. I get the same sandy, ocean, aqua blue feel from both names.
I love the nn potential. [name_f]Leila[/name_f] would be another nickname you could get from it, such a pretty name too! As far as Leilana [name_f]Claire[/name_f] (or any name with the initials LC) nickname [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], I’m not super fond of the idea. That’s just a personal thing tho. I prefer quite obvious nicknames, and [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] is nms anyways.
Multiple nicknames work fine, I’m called by more then one nickname myself. It seems to me tho often it’s different people each using a different nickname, not one person using many different nicknames. And if you’d use the name you might find yourself gravitating towards one of the nicknames more then the others…
I think you’ve come across a wonderful name! All the best.
