Leo was on my boys list, I have 3 girls, so have always thought about a name to go with Leo. What about Anna? We also thought of Dominic.

I'd say no to Leo and Lily. They are not pet rabbits.

I prefer 'Leo and Grace' to 'Leo and Gracie'.

Noah is nice but there's too much assonance in 'Leo and Noah' imo.


My suggestions:

Leo and Hannah

Leo and Charlie

Gracie sounds too much like Greasy. Trust me - my middle name is Grace! Grin

Leo and Matilda sounds cool!

Grace is very nice but not Gracie. I don't know why people worry so much about 'matching names'. But not Leo and Cleo obviously. Grin I like Pearl and Iris.

My dd has a special hard stare for people who call her Gracie without permission- they rarely do it twice. I think her reception teacher was quite shaken.......

Hai I prefer Noah to Oscar by a mile. There's nothing wrong with Oscar (Oscar Wilde is an excellent namesake) I just prefer Noah.

Lily is lovely! Especially with the one L in the middle. I hate it spelt with two. No idea why.

I don't think you need a really long list. In some ways that could make the actual naming harder. If you've got 20 names and you're sitting there trying to work out which one suits your baby best it could drive you mad!

We have a Noah, great name, go for it!! Our daughter's second name is Grace, can't fault that either!

Sorry, don't like Lily. Leo & Lily together sounds like a clothing range..

Sophia? Miriam? Eve? Zita?

If you like Lily, how about other flower names like Poppy, Ivy or Daisy?

The only little Leo I know has a sister called Phoebe Grin.

And borrowing the words of the good doctor in Friends (when Rachel is pregnant) " I know it's not my place to say, but whatever you do, please don't call him Pheobo!"

Also "Is it just me or Veto started to sound really good?"
Oh, I miss Friends...

One more: Leo & Emma?

I like Leo & Jacob, or Jessica... I like J names! Smile
