    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    We could not get the word Raniyah in a dictionary. Thus it is not better to keep this name. While Leena means soft hearted, you may keep this name, but it is better to choose any name among the names of Sahabiyat, for example, Fatimah, Khadijah, Zainab, etc.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
