Valencia is so weird as a name imo I don't like it. Plus, I hear that people in English tend to pronounce it vah-len-SEE-a, which sounds horrible to me. Leni is cute as a nickname though, I have a friend named Madeleine nn Leni. With Ann as a middle name, it sounds like a choppy way to say "Valencian"...
I'm not keen on Grady either.

I'm not that keen on Grady either, but agree that it's better then Brady. I like Valencia and I like Leni as a nickname. I'm not liking Ann but it's fine as a middle name.

I think it's beautiful! Valencia, I like the nn Valley, and Leni is cute too!
I love the name Grady too!

I think that Valencia is pretty but it's nms. Leni has been growing on my lately, I think it's cute. Overall I like it, but it does bother me a bit that Valencia ends in 'a' and Ann starts with 'a'.

Grady just makes me think of the Graty, that thing that comes with the Slapchop.

Well, I used to live on an orange farm so all I can think of is the orange Valencia. I guess it's not a terrible name, but I just can't see it on a person, it's all orange for me.
Grady is nmsaa, but it's not the worst.

Leni is the best part about Valencia, to me. I'm not a big fan of Valencia. But there's nothing wrong wwith it either (if you don't mind thinking of delicious oranges -- oh, the marmalade, yum) and it is spelled correctly. So overall, Valencia, nn Leni, is just fine.

It's interesting they went with a fillerish mn like Ann. It's my name and I do love it. But as a mn it always seems a cop-out. It doesn't match the style of Valencia at all. But again, I have nothing really against it either.

Grady? Reminds me of gravy.
