I have never met anyone called Lenora but I think it sounds nicer than Eleanora (which in my opinion sounds too pretentious). I’m not a fan of the name Lenora but I’m not opposed to it.
Looove this name. So beautiful and elegant, but very uncommon. It does have a tendency to sound like LaNora, which makes it seem like its just a mash up of the la prefix and Nora, but its so much more than that. It's a gorgeous name with history and class, and if you pronounce it le-NO-ra rather than la-NO-ra, you should be good :)

The name Lenora was given to 89 baby girls born in the US in 2012.
Lenora is such an elegant name. It is soft yet commanding all at once. I think it would suit a person well all throughout life. Lena would be a good nickname if you wanted to lighten it up during childhood.
I love this name, it's so pretty. =) I believe this name means "Meadow Light" if you pronouce it *LEE-nora* because Lee means Meadow and Nora/Ora means light. Don't quote me on that though. Even if it doesn't it's a beautiful name.
