Re: Valencia and Grady
in reply to a message by Essy
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.

I think I would like Leni except that I know two men with that name (spelled differently) and so I just see it as a guy's name. I do think if you use Valencia you need a nickname though, it's too frilly to use on it's own so Leni's fine I guess. I am happy they didn't choose Val as a nn.
I don't know why they chose Ann, I think it may be the mother's middle name.
