I've been thinking more of this name lately. I love the French pronunciation, however, I realize where I live (VA), that's not a possibility so I was thinking I could go with LEE-oh-nee. Do you feel that's a reasonable assumption or would people instinctively pronounce it lee-OH-nee due to its similarity to
Leona?
WDYT of
Leonie? Do you think
Leo could work as a nn or does it seem too masculine to you? Any mn suggestions?
TIA.
