Help[Opinions] Lenore
Lately I've been getting really sucked into more traditional-sounding names. I've really been loving Lenore as a middle name, in honour of both Edgar Allan Poe (he uses this name in both "The Raven" and "Lenore") and of Eleanor Roosevelt. The problem is I can't find a good first name for it. I theoretically love the idea of Rosemary Lenore, but I think it's too R-heavy and thus becomes smushed together. Any other suggestions?
Also, what do you think of Rosemary Ulyssa, just out of curiousity?
And what about Marisol Augustina?
Any and all suggestions/criticisms/etc. are welcome!

I'm positively *enamored* of Lenore. ♥

I love Lenore!
Rosemary Lenore is actually one of my favorite combos with it. I don't think it feels or sounds "smushed together" at all...but then, I seem to like R heavy combos (Henry Rupert is another favorite of mine ;) ).
Other favorites with Lenore as a middle name: Ada Lenore, Anna Lenore, Antonia Lenore, Beatrice Lenore, Beatrix Lenore, Catherine/Katherine Lenore, Margaret Lenore, Octavia Lenore, Rose Lenore, Sadie Lenore, Susannah Lenore, Viviana Lenore.
These are also nice...
Agatha Lenore
Esmée Lenore
Etta Lenore

Tabitha Lenore
Tamsin Lenore
Vivienne Lenore
Winifred Lenore
Zahra/Zara Lenore
In regards to Rosemary Ulyssa and Marisol Augustina: I like both of the first names (love Rosemary), but dislike the middle names. However, both combos sound fine and are definitely striking.

Rosemary Lenore is great but I prefer Rosemary Ulyssa. It just works better for some reason.
I think of Lenore as one of those dark, almost morbid, girl names(most likely because of Poe), not that that's a bad thing. :-) Marcella Lenore therefore comes to mind because I put them in the same category, but that's a little l-heavy and difficult to say.
Some others:
Christina Lenore
Virginia Lenore
Mathilda Lenore
Georgia Lenore
Wilhelmina Lenore (heavy in general)
Francesca Lenore
Regina Lenore
Petra Lenore
Johanna Lenore
Winona Lenore
Antonia Lenore (though Lenore Antonia sounds better to my ears)
Lysandra Lenore
Josephine Lenore (ditto Antonia)
Hope there's something you like! :-)

My mom's mn is Lenore...
She used to get "manure" jokes in primary school.
That said, I think it's a nice middle name, when paired with the right first name.
Rosemary Ulyssa: Until this moment, I hated Ulyssa, but that combo looks so pretty. I bet it would look lovely written in cursive.
I don't care for Marisol Augustina.

Love Lenore. A real "sleeper hit" of a name. :-)
Rosemary and Lenore share the same style / feeling. But the "r's" do get in the way of combination perfection (aka Nirvana). Ulyssa is a wonderful name, but it doesn't have the same vibe as Rosemary to me at all. And the transition from the "y" in Rosemary to the "U" in Ulyssa is not a smooth one. Again, I love both Marisol and Augustina, but the feelings I get from each are so different. Sometimes juxtaposing two different styles works. But it's not doing it for me with Marisol Augustina either, although it works better than Rosemary Ulyssa does.
