MN Question

bryanddani2009

Hey ladies...

We think we've chosen a middle name if we end up having a girl (First name still being discussed).  The problem is, I'm not quite sure how to spell it.  It's LeeAnne (combination of mother's and grandmother's middle names).  Is this the correct spelling?  If not, what would you suggest?  Thanks for all of your help!

I would use Leanne personally. There are a few variations, but the second E is actually dropped when it was smushed...

Another option is Lee Anne - a double name. It's not a popular option, and I don't know that I would do it, but I do know of people with double first names, so it's a possibility.

The trouble with LeeAnne is the random capitalization in the middle and the less-than-obvious spelling. Here are a few other options, but I still think Leanne is your best bet.

Same here.

I've only seen it spelled Leanne.

You could also do two MNs, Lee and Anne, if you don't like splicing them like that.

I've seen it spelled Leanne and Leann.
