Opinions on Leonard?

[gardenpeasftw]

With Lenny as NN? Thanks x

gruff Leonard is pronounced Lennurd

Id have pronounced it lennerd.

I don't like it. It reminds me of names like derek. Like out of a 70s sitcom.

I love it

That's my lovely, clever, funny grandad's name so it has very happy connotations for me

I think it would be a really sweet name for a little boy! And there won't be tonnes of them in his class at school.

Excellent name

Love it!

LOVE IT! Also you can get the nn Leo from it, and thats the cutest nn.

It's really not the style I like (old man style names) but I don't mind it. I don't prefer one pronounciation over the other either. I like names with options; Len/Lenny/Leo etc so maybe that's why I like it!

Not a fan, sorry. Awful.

Love it and all possible NNs
I know a lovely Lenny who really suits his name

I know a baby Leonard. I have to admit it does seem a bit of a middle aged name for this little baby boy. However, Lenny is nice and as he gets older he can choose whether he wants to be Lenny, Len, Leonard etc. It's a very adaptable name.

The ideal name, IMO. I would never use it, though, as my grandfather was called Leonard and he was horrible!

I reckon it's due for a revival. I know an 11 year old one, but it's shortened to Leon (which is also lovely).

I think Lenny is very popular at the moment......nice though!

I know a leon too. Love that

I don't love it, but I don't dislike it.

I like that it has lots of nickname options.

I love it.

I like Lenny a lot but am not keen on Leonard. Bit mothballs

Bunty-like the description of 'bit mothballs'! That expresses perfectly about how I feel about the name Arthur!

I reckon it's due for a revival.

It's already having one!

Lenny or Lennon.

I used to know a baby Leonard. Always half expected him to be smoking a cheroot, really couldn't get used to it as a baby name!

Great name!

I think it's a fab name!
