Re: Middle name Leandra?
I have a dilemma: all three of my favourite names on your list -Kate, Maeve & Mae - share a repetitive "a" sound with James so they don't sound ideal. If I'm honest, Leandra sounds the best with your surname. Is there any reason why you only have one syllable first names on your list when you have a one syllable last name as well?

My guess is they were only thinking about the middle name, which has three syllables. They probably were pairing a short first name with the long middle name.
