Leon. The others I've heard loads.

Also Leon and June 😍

KronksSpinachPuffs · 27/08/2019 23:04

Sebastian and Leo are my favourites, then Leon. Not keen on Arthur.

Leo, in spite of its popularity. Gorgeous name.

whattodowith · 27/08/2019 10:41

Sebastian

joystir59 · 26/08/2019 21:54

Arthur is great. Leon is beautiful. Sebastian is wimpy. Leo is a bit wimpy too.

RuthW · 26/08/2019 21:53

Arthur - nearly every baby is called that.

Leo - it not called Arthur they are called Leo.

Leon. - dislike

Sebastian - lovely.

I love Sebastian

Frouby · 26/08/2019 18:42

I have a Sebastian so obviously biased. I like either Leo or Leon, but suspect leon will get nn leo anyway. Don't like Arthur.

I'm trying to understand the post about not using Leon if you're not Spanish??

It's a greek name originally.
It's heavily associated with French people.
It's also historically common in England.

Bizarre comment.

sklflknsflsdf · 26/08/2019 18:35

Leon (love!)
Leo (really nice but a bit too popular)
Sebastian (really nice but a bit too pompous)

Don't like Arthur

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 26/08/2019 14:08

Leo

RunawayLove · 26/08/2019 13:23

Leo, it's what DD was going to be if she were a boy. Sebastian second choice - only so I can call him Bastian like from never ending story :)

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 26/08/2019 13:19

Sebastian, Leon is awful.

iemma321q · 26/08/2019 13:17

Sebastian definitely.

diddlediddle · 26/08/2019 13:16

Arthur.

Sebastien is dreadful. Leo is very common. Leon is meh.

KatherineJaneway · 26/08/2019 12:20

Leo or Arthur.

milliefiori · 26/08/2019 12:18

I like all except Leon. Not keen.

MarshaBradyo · 26/08/2019 12:17

Out of two prefer Leo however

MarshaBradyo · 26/08/2019 12:16

Sebastian - full name

Arthur too old maniac and dislike other two

WinterHare · 26/08/2019 12:11

Arthur

99bb · 26/08/2019 11:18

Live Sebastian.

Leo ok

Not a fan of Arthur

Actively dislike Leon

IsobelRae23 · 26/08/2019 11:14

Sebastian. Hate Leo, Leon to be is really dated as I know a lot in their 40’s along with Kevin’s etc. Arthur is a very old mans name, and I hate it on babies, it doesn’t suit them.

Arthur.
