I like the appearance of Leni more than Laney, I just think there would be pronounciation issues.

I prefer Laney or Lainey. Leni is a good nickname for the name Lena, which I also like. But it also depends on how you want people to pronounce it. You have more of a chance of people mispronouncing it if it is spelled Leni. Laney and Lainey are pretty much straightforward in terms of pronunciation. To me Leni looks too much like a nickname.

I agree about the pronunciation and other spelling suggestions, here.

leni > laney

I like them both, but Laney is a nickname for Elaine (and other names, I'm sure). Leni can stand on its own, IMO.

But yeah, they're both nice.

Laney...Leni Reminds me of the drunk guy off the Simpsons

I like Laney best, though I really prefer it as Lainey. Leni looks too much like Lenny

Leni

I do not like the whiny nasal sound of Lainey/Laney at all.

I think Leni looks a lot prettier

Don't forget about Leni Reifenstahl, who was Hitler's personal filmmaker and made the Aryan Nation film Triumph of the Will!
