DW and I are having hypothetical discussions about what to name the next baby if it’s a boy (too early to know yet). I really like Lennard / Leonard, with either Len or Lenny as a nickname. To me it feels literary, unusual and distinguished with no risk of having a sudden surge in popularity and becoming the new Arlo / Milo. She’s not keen. Feels it’s a bit old fashioned in a grandpa who worked down the pit with a flat cap and a bag of chips for tea way (we both had grandpas that came from this kind of background so we can make these jokes).
Says she’s going to sit with it and see if it grows on her.
Wondering what other people’s associations are with it, given that hers and mine are quite different?
She’ll be Stella or Sylvia if a girl
