Lee-Lee
While reading I came across the name Lee-Lee and, as you do, I looked it up and there is an actress named Leelee.
Liliane Rudabet Gloria Elsveta "Leelee"
What do you think of her name?
Does anyone know the origin of Rudabet or a guess?
formerly Belphoebe

I love Leelee Sobieski (the actress and her full name)! I remember being disappointed by her daughter’s name, Louisanna Ray.

If I had to guess I'd guess that Rudabet was maybe a Jewish mashup of Ruth and Elizabeth?
Lee'Lee is quite babyish-sounding to me, a name better kept to the private home and very young children. IT's like Tay-Tay or Boo-Boo.

Sounds a lot like Lily, but infantile and insubstantial. I would only advise it as a casual / occasional nickname, among family and close friends. I love the name Lydia and have considered calling a Lydia "Leelee" from time to time.
This actress's name is very interesting! Liliane is lovely. Rudabet is fascinating, I've never heard it before. Gloria is dated but works in a combo. Elsveta looks like Elspeth meets Elizaveta. The name as a whole flows nicely. I'd love to know where all the names are from / what the inspiration was. Leelee Sobieski's last name looks Polish or similar.

very baby-ish and nicknamey. Would be cute just between family and close friends though. I knew a woman with a daughter Alena who she and her family called "Lee-Lee". Cute kid. I haven't seen them in years and she'd be like middle school aged now. I wonder if she still allows her family to call her it, or if she's rejected the nickname at this point? I would have bucked at the nickname at that age if it was me personally. Fine for close relationships if they allow it. A bit too infantile for broader use.
Leelee Sobieski! She was a 90s/Y2K It Girl before leaving the acting world. I always liked her and it gave me a favourable impression of the name.
I'm not sure where Rudabet comes from, but I know that Liliane and Elsveta are both family names. There's a Persian mythological character named Rudabeh....
I also found this ancient thread from 2009 about it https://www.behindthename.com/bb/fact/3560630
