Name issue

I’m currently expecting my second child and if it’s a boy one of our favourite names is Leo.

The only issue is that our first son is called Raphael, and I’m worried it will be too ‘teenage mutant ninja turtles.’

My husband thinks I’m being ridiculous but I’m not sure. So AIBU for worrying about the turtle connection?

I think they go lovely together. I share my name with a Pokemon character which Millennials usually pick up on, but younger people don't know the reference.

They're lovely names. The turtle connection wouldn't occur to me.

Children his age at school won't link them so I think it will be fine.
