So after some fab input from mumsnetters on an earlier thread, we have narrowed our list down to either Joe or Leo with a very slight lean towards Leo. His middle name will be my maiden name which is the surname of a popular Irish talkshow host/classic motorcycle manufacturer. I can imagine that family reactions to Leo would be ooh, thats different, not very traditional etc, which they wouldn't have for Joe but I am aware that Leo is growing in popularity and he might end up with many classmates of the same name which we sort of want to avoid as his surname will also be very common! Joe/Joseph, although popular, seems to be on the decline but is a classic and not at all faddy. We live in Surrey where I imagine Leo's will be more ubiquitous than other parts of the country. What are your thoughts, have you come across very many Leo's recently, is it too faddy and would Joe be a better option? He will be our precious firstborn and I didn't quite realise how great the weight of responsibility would be for choosing a name?!
