Leo the lion

Not a full name

badg3r · 31/01/2018 15:18

I like it.

stocksund13 · 31/01/2018 14:32

It is actually a nice name now I look at it but I think of Leo Sayer and Leo Blair - son of Tony and Cherie.

Not for me.

Bobbyshafter · 31/01/2018 14:29

I think of a lion, bravery and strength

Commuterface · 31/01/2018 14:07

I love the name Leo.

Kenworthington · 31/01/2018 14:06

Ds2 best mate is a Leo. He is found here all the time. Together they are like beavis and butthead. He’s a great lad. So therefore I like it

I love it, and if I was ever going to have another child (I'm not!) it would be on my list. It doesn't really make me think of anything in particular, it's just one of those timeless names which can suit a baby, a small child, a teenager, a young adult, a middle aged person and an elderly person equally well.

SumAndSubstance · 31/01/2018 14:04

I quite like it. It doesn’t conjure up an image of any particular type of child, which I think is a good thing! He could make it his own.

TheDailyMailIsADisgustingRag · 31/01/2018 11:26

I like it. Much nicer than Theo, though I do like Theodore.

MammieBear · 31/01/2018 10:45

Lovely name

Coconutty89 · 31/01/2018 10:27

I have a Leo who's 4 on Friday! It seems to of gained popularity since having him. He gets shortened to L (think el)

I love his name! X

Mrsknackered · 29/01/2018 15:21

I like it. Sadly, an adult Leo I know is such a pain in the arse that it went from being a potential name for DS to being hated.

A member of my family had a Leonidas, nn Leo, which is nice IMO

Thiswayorthatway · 29/01/2018 15:20

Great name

daisydiddlex · 29/01/2018 15:18

Love it. Beautiful choice, means lion and is adorable for a little boy of a quiet or confident nature and lovely as a man and old man's name too

MikeUniformMike · 25/01/2018 15:29

I like it. I don't like Theo.

daisypond · 25/01/2018 15:26

Like it a lot.

MollyHuaCha · 25/01/2018 15:07

I like Leo.

SparkyBlue · 25/01/2018 15:01

Love it. I know a fabulous little five year old called Leo.

JJPP123 · 25/01/2018 14:55

My Gran's cat

PsychoPumpkin · 25/01/2018 14:53

I love it. If my youngest had been a boy, I’d have chosen Leo.

It’s a good, strong name.

Kpo58 · 25/01/2018 14:51

I don't have an issue in the name itself, but it is really common at the moment. Just be prepared that if you use it that there will probably be another 5 Leo's in the same class at school.

Itchytights · 24/01/2018 23:23

Can’t stand it.

I think of Leo Sayer.

Also know a four year old called Leo who is just a horror.

I think that’s probably why I dislike it so much.

TashieWoo · 24/01/2018 23:19

My brother is called Leo, he’s 27. I also know a 4 year old Leo. It’s a lovely, strong name and I like the fact it’s rarely shortened.

Buntysoven · 24/01/2018 22:56

Not at all chavvy. Hate that word. Lovely name.

TheDowagerCuntess · 24/01/2018 22:42

It's fine, no negative connotations at all, although it wouldn't be on my short list...
