As a child, hardly anyone could pronounce my name correctly (even aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents) which was very aggravating, But as I have gotten older I love the uniqueness of the name.
It's my middle name and I love it. It's a family name, my mother and my grandmother are also Lenores. I really prefer it to my first name.
