What do you think of Leonard as a boy's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

So is Cuntalina.

Rossiter. Old man in cardie and slippers. No.

skyeplusbump · 15/07/2010 19:58

no,please,no...

poppydaisy · 15/07/2010 19:59

I like it. Leo would be a cute nickname.

CuppaTeaJanice · 15/07/2010 20:00

Cohen?
Rossiter?
The character from The Big Bang Theory?

Lenny is quite a cool name. Leonard not so much.

I really like cuntalina, actually. Couldn't find it on the baby name finder though. Does it have deep meaning?

RabbitAndCo · 15/07/2010 20:17

Love it. My grandpa.

Tootlesmummy · 15/07/2010 20:18

Sorry but it's a no vote from me. Lenny would acceptable (unless your surname was lion )!

shitforbrains · 15/07/2010 20:19

but seriously.

I don't mind Leonard, actually.
It's not offensive, or stupid, and I like it a lot more than some of the other names people have been coming up with. And it has nice nicknames.

Disenchanted3 · 15/07/2010 20:19

Love it!

theagedparent · 15/07/2010 20:58

I love it, Len is a great nn

usualsuspect · 15/07/2010 20:59

Its awful ..just no

SirBoobAlot · 15/07/2010 21:17

I love it. But I could never use it because of Big Bang Theory!

Hedwig3 · 16/07/2010 11:36

I like it, Lenny is good to.

Pasiphae · 16/07/2010 13:55

A bit too dusty old man with big hairy ears for me. But I like the nicknames Lenny/Len.
Leopold is a nicer Leo option.

EthelredOnAGoodDay · 16/07/2010 13:57

My grandad is called leonard. So to me, it is a grandad's name! But as shitforbrains said, old man name or not, it's still better than some of the other names people come up with on here!

Margeaux · 16/07/2010 15:00

I like old man names but not so keen on this one. It could be a grower though.

superpenguin · 16/07/2010 15:05

I like Leon but not sure about Leonard. I can only think of Leonard Cohen!!

sparkleshine · 16/07/2010 16:52

I love the shortened version Leo and like Leon as a second choice but not Leonard.

Colliecross · 16/07/2010 17:01

Mr Spock?

CarmenSanDiego · 16/07/2010 17:05

Rather like Leonard, but not Lenny. Lenny sounds like a used car salesman. Or Lenny Henry.

PuppyMonkey · 16/07/2010 17:09

Leonard Brezhnev.

Terrible name imho.

Leon is nicer.

Teapot13 · 16/07/2010 18:24

Brezhnev was Leonid.

I like Leonard -- I would have thought it would be more popular. I like it shortened to Leo.

pacinofan · 16/07/2010 20:54

Love it, Lenny is a great shortened version. Am biased as was my grandad's name. Love Leonora for a girl, too.

mattahatta · 16/07/2010 21:00

love it, I think Leo is such a good nickname, BUT if you think it is a bit old, then go for Leonardo....
