I’ve always loved the name Leo for a boy and thought it was unusual. But of course now that we’re expecting our own little boy I’ve been told it’s very popular and in the top 10. Me and my DH both have very common names, one of several in our school year etc. So we had aimed to pick less popular names for our children. However, I don’t know a single Leo at the minute and have yet to hear of any little baby Leo’s in our area. ( we live in Scotland).

So I suppose I’m asking, is Leo really that popular and would it put you off? Do you know many Leo’s and how do you view the name? Any opinions on Leo very welcome, even negative ones as we do have another few names which we are considering.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I like Leo and also don't know any.
All of my children have popular (in the top 10) names yet none of them have a classmate with the same name.
If you like it go for it

I like Leo too. Couldn't comment on the general popularity, but I guess you could Google that. The Prime Minister of Ireland is called Leo.

If you want unusual but not common... Look farther afield.

I like Leo. One of my nephews has it as a middle name.
I only know of one boy with the first name Leo. He's about 12.

I know 1 Leo who is a baby and 1 Leon aged 6. It does seem quite popular in forums and obviously has jumped up the top baby names list. However, if you like the name then who cares. Even give him Leopold as a full name or something that's more unusual incase you find there's lots of Leo's at his school x
