What are your thoughts? Other DC’s have quite old fashioned but not mega unusual type names, and I like Lenny and Leo as shortenings, but I’ve never come across a baby Leonard before and not sure how it will be viewed!

It's OK, I prefer Leo. Would he be called Leonard in full that much, or are you more likely to call him by the shortening you decide on? If you decide on Lenny, it might get shortened to Len when he's older if you're OK with that. I think people are used to old fashioned names now, so I don't think it would stand out as unusual.
