One other question...
in reply to a message by Serafina Starstrider
Would it be weird to use the combo Leona Marguerite if it also was my husband's great grandfathers sister's name? The surname would also be the same as her maiden name.
Only when doing some genealogy research recently did I realize that Cecil's sister Leona had Marguerite as her middle name. It makes sense since she was the first daughter and Marguerite was her mother's name. My husband and his mother never knew her so it isn't like they want or don't want to honor her.

Leona Marguerite has an awesome sound. I'm normally not a fan of Marguerite but pairing it with Leona makes the entire name stunning. I wouldn't use it to 'honor' but it would be a neat connection and a great name.
I don't think it's even slightly weird; but nor do I like Leona so if it were me, the question wouldn't arise. I'd go for Fiona without hesitation.
Leona could be Leeona, Layona or leeOHna. Fiona is easier for the public, it seems, though I did encounter one FIEona once. Rather than Leona, I'd consider Leonie but probably wouldn't choose it over Fiona either.
