My middle name is Lenore, and I love it. It's also my mom & grandma's middle name and we're the only people I know with it!
My grandma uses it for her first name. My mom's maiden name was Linda Lenore Carey & I'm Carrie Lenore [last name] which is cool.
My sister's middle name is Burdette, after my mom's fave grandma. When she (grandma) found out, she cried and said something about how she couldn't believe anyone would name their daughter after her 'cause she had a such an ugly name! lol
I don't know how my sister feels about it though?
