Leonore is a character in Beethoven's only opera, Fidelio. She disguises herself as a prison guard named Fidelio to rescue her husband, Florestan, from death in a political prison. I think the story line of the opera is cool, and Leonore's name is pretty.

Leonore Cohn Annenberg (February 20, 1918 – March 12, 2009) was a billionaire former Chief of Protocol of the United States from 1981 to 1982. She was well-noted for her philanthropic efforts in education and the arts.
I absolutly love this name. I plan on naming a daughter of mine "Leonore" some day. I fell in love with this name the first time I read the raven, but decided that I prefer "Leonore" to the poem's version, "Lenore". This is probably because Bill Dotrieve's trashy ex-wife is "Lenore" on the cartoon "King of the Hill".
The third child and second daughter of prince Constantijn and princess Laurentien of the Netherlands bears this name: Leonore Marie Irene Enrica countess of Orange-Nassau, jonkvrouw (= a Dutch title) of Amsberg.
