Our top pick is 玲仁 (Reni). 玲 means “chime” and 仁 means “benevolence”. Other good options are 蓮仁 (Renni) and 礼仁 (Reni).

Is 玲仁 a real Japanese name?

Each character in 玲仁 has a positive meaning, so it is a reasonable choice. Keep in mind that Japanese people will read it as the meaning of the characters, not instantly as “Leonie”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (レニー) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
