Hi everyone!
I'm 38+2 with my second child and whilst I'm sorted for girls names, am really struggling to find a boys name that will go with Leo. (We don't know if its a boy or a girl)
Any help you can give me would be great.
Thank you Smile

LOVE Kit as a nickname! And have been toying with Rufus too - thank you basking, I think all of those names are fab.

oh wow i am really pleased Grin.

i'll think up some more.

After reading just your title i was ready to post that i'd had the same problem and settled on leo - wouldn't have been much help having read the rest of the post.

I love sebastien, but that was vetoed by dh. Also like arthur, luke/lucas and ben.

AnaisB · 21/11/2012 19:11

Although, thinking about it leo and luke would be to manys ls.

Alwayswineoclock · 21/11/2012 19:15

Sadly can't have three of the names you've chosen Anais as already picked by other family, annoying as there are some great names.
Find it so much harder choosing boy names - don't want to give them crazy names but equally don't want to give them a name where they could end up with lots of other boys with the same name at school - (not that Leo is that unusual.) Hmm

My favourites are Finn, Arthur, Louis, Albert and Edgar.

Leo was on our boys name list - we had 3 girls Grin We were also thinking about Dominic, Joseph, Sam.

Well I called my son Kandi, I am in love with the name and think it's very appropriate. So what about --- Marshall - mallow as a nickname, Lolli - Lollipop as a nickname (CUTE!), Harry-bo - Nick name Harry (double barrelled - very IN) :)

persephoneplum · 22/11/2012 13:01

WTF? (aimed at Mumz4lyff)

Mumz4lyff · 22/11/2012 13:27

Why you dissing??? :/

googlyeyes · 22/11/2012 13:41

I know someone who has an Oscar and a Leo if that helps!

Anjou · 22/11/2012 14:14

I?m in exactly the same boat as you, AlwaysWineOClock (just about to make a post on it actually!). Leo is a lovely name, (one of my favs, but it doesn't go with our surname unfortunately). How about ?

Leo & Quinn (Finn is fab too, already suggested above)
Leo & Luc (slightly different from Luke)
Leo & Roman
Leo & Jasper
Leo & Elijah (Eli can be cute)
Leo & Ezra (I love this but my husband is having none of it!)

Alwayswineoclock · 22/11/2012 14:24

Thank you everyone for your suggestions - there are some great names. Anjou I think we've got very similar taste in names! Love them, and it's finally making me get excited about boys names again.

Ha! I think you're right about us liking similar names. I just re-read your post near the top that mentions Kit - that's my little boys middle name. Smile
