I immediately thought Rex.

Leo was on my list, also on it were...

Hugo
Toby
Arlo
Rudy
Laurie
Rohan/Rowan
Nate (Nathaniel)

Not Rex, it's too "lion and dinosaur" with Leo. I like Max though.

FatWalda · 22/05/2015 11:47

Dinosaur? I thought Lion King Grin

My suggestion is John.

I love the name Leo and know a couple, with brothers:

Emmett
Paco
Oliver

Some combinations that IMO work well with Leo are:

Leo and Nate (Nathaniel) Love this!
Leo and Josh (v West Wing!And none the worse for that!)
Leo and Seth
Leo and Saul
Leo and Paul
Leo and Joseph
Leo and Max (as others have said above)
Leo and Nicholas

I think Leo goes best with names starting and ending in consonants.

I would avoid two -o endings e.g. Leo and Otto, Leo and Theo!
and -y endings also sound a bit odd to me eg Leo and Rudy, Leo and Toby
(also there are loads of Tobys (and Theos) at the moment if this is a problem for you)

Have fun choosing....

Max, Felix, Julian . . .

Luca

ClementineAndCordelia · 22/05/2015 23:33

Our friends have a Leo and Noah . I also know older brothers who are Leo and Luke . Otherwise :
Rowan, Ruben , Rafy, Seb, Max , Nate, Ezra , Rudi .

TheBananaFaceOfEvil · 23/05/2015 03:38

Our DS2 is Leo. His brother's name is Dylan.

LeoandBoosmum · 23/05/2015 16:47

My first thought was Hugo to keep the 'o' ending in common between brothers, but Alex goes well, as does Sean.

LeoandBoosmum · 23/05/2015 16:51

Ooh, I really like the idea of both names ending in o as long as they don't end eo (as that's just too close) which is why I suggested Hugo Smile Otto or Milo could work too.

SylvaniansAtEase · 23/05/2015 18:28

Luca if you like the idea of same initial

Otherwise,

Max
Felix
Otis
Hugo
Jago

autonomousplum · 24/05/2015 12:02

I know of a Leo and Michael, a Leo and Gabe, a Leo and Max, a Leo and Sam (and Mathilda), and a Leo and Frederick (and Josie and Rosa).
Out there suggestions are Leo and Clement or Leo and Everett.

SamFireman · 27/05/2015 21:08

Thanks all - some fab ideas.
