I think Chrissy is cute, and I love Violet as a middle name, but I think Christina Violet would be better. Not a fan of Lenny Vernon though. I don't think those names go together at all.

Lennon, Leonardo, Leonard, even Leon...and they go with just Lenny? Whatever. It's not a terrible name, but it would've been nice for the kid to have a more mature name to grow up with. Vernon is ugly, but I guess it's honouring.Chrissy is 10x worse than Lenny. Chrissy sounds like something a toddler would call someone named Christine/Christina. It sounds beyond cutesy...it sounds like either the name of a very young child, or something a young child would call an adult as a nn. If all the names are family names, then I'm sure the parents were trying to honour people while still allowing their children to have their own names. I completely understand the appeal in honouring someone named Christine with the name Chrissy (because it's cute), but that child does have to grow up.

I keep thinking I want to call this pair of twins Lenny and Squiggy. Lenny just sounds like a loser, somebody who hangs around on the street corner till somebody tells him to move off and/or he can get himself into a fight.Chrissy just sounds like a girl who lives in a trailer park in 1982 who has a bad home perm and wears her shorts so tight they show half her butt and she's always cracking her gum and bumming cigarettes off Lenny and pushing her boobs out at him.

I'm glad for your friend, but don't like the first names. Sorry. Leonard and Christina or Christine would have been soooo much better.

I love the middle names! I like that they're very slightly matching by having the same middle initial, but it's not in your fact. I like the first names, but they're a bit too nicknamey for my taste. I would prefer Leonard and Christina or something, with Lenny and Chrissy as nicknames.

Lenny and Chrissy? Please. Not even the dignity of Leonard and Christine to use when they're grown up and want to stop sounding like dimwitted seventies sitcom characters.

I prefer other forms of Lenny and Chrissy (Allen & Chris), but Lenny is cute :)
Violet is way prettier, very regal but mundane as well.
Vernon makes me think of uncle Vernon (I love Harry Potter, but Vernon is mean), but if it's a family name, it's alright. Actually, that applies to all names, I'm a great fan of honouring family members through names, though I prefer honouring names in the mn slot.

Fantastic for them, and I'm glad they're all doing well. The names however, is...certainly not my style.

Exciting for her but I don't like the first names. Lenny and Chrissy are too nicknamey. Leonard Vernon and Christabel Violet would have been gorgeous.
