Leona
My great grandmother's name was Lottie Leona and I would like to honor her somehow. I like Leona but wanted your opinons on whether or not it would work better as a first name or middle name. Also, do you have any suggestions with this name? :)

My great grandmother was Leona Marie. :) I love this name and I wish DH would let me use it.
My grandmother's name was Leona! I love it! Her name was Leona Anne. I also love Leona Delphine.
Small world! ;)
Pronounced del-fine or del-feen?

Leona Delphine

I know a Leona and she's a trip. Very smart and quite the individual. Leona has a very strong feeling, to me. Very retro. :-)
I love the nn Lottie for Leona. Or was her fn Lottie and her mn Leona?
Either way, you asked for Leona combos, so here goes:
Leona Sylvie
Leona Margaret / Margot
Leona Helen
Leona Iris
Leona Charlotte (adds the "Lottie" element)
Leona Frances
Leona Marion
Leona Sibyl
Charlotte Leona
Margaret / Margot / Margery / Marjorie Leona
Rebecca Leona
Vera Leona
Kirsten Leona ("KEER-sten")
Ingrid Leona
Frances Leona
Renata Leona (= Leona reborn)
Hedy Leona
Yes, no, maybe so?
By the way, have you considered variant Leonie ("LEE-uh-nee" in English, "LAY-uh-nee" in French) instead? Or Lena? Just a thought.

Her actual name was Lottie Leona. I thought Lottie was short for Charlotte but nope, it was Lottie.
I like Leona Margaret (very "classic" imo), Renata Leona
(very strong and I like the meaning) and Marion Leona. I like the idea of bringing Mary back for a nn possibly for Marion ;)
Lena is really pretty :) I like that! Thank you!
