Could / should I call DS2 Leon if...

My name is Lisa and DS1 is Nathan?

I LOVE the name Leon though because of mine and DS's names, I'm a little reluctant to use it.

Does Leon and Lisa sound a bit 'twee'? Are they too similar? Would people think I've named him after me? Or am I overthinking this??!
I'm not keen on alliteration and/or too many names beginning with the same letter either, in fact this was one of my naming 'rules', however Leon is about the only boys name me and DH can agree on!

Also - and I know I am probably overthinking this! - but does Nathan and Leon sound ok together? Obviously their endings sound similar, maybe like Rosie & Sophie or Barney & Rory do - does this matter?

Would Leo be better?

Opinions welcome, thank you!

Leon is lovely. You are over thinking it because you are pregnant and mental! I am the same.... Leon and Nathan sound like good sibling set. Well chosen xx

Definitely over thinking it ... I know the feeling! Sounds fine to me.

Nathan and Leon is perfect.
Once your DSs start nursery/school you'll be Nathan/Leon's mum not Lisa Grin

Wouldn't have even crossed my mind. Leon and Nathan sound good together.

Thank you so much, feel much better (and slightly mental as you suggest!!) Wink

Leon is a lovely name and perfectly ok with Lisa and Nathan.

It wouldn't be so good if you were Leanne and your son Deon though Hmm Grin

Over thinking. It's fine Smile

Go for it, I can't see any problem with Lisa, Nathan and Leon.

Also, in the face of some of the bonkers names around at the moment, am loving Lisa!
