I love it. My dog’s called Leo...

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 24/01/2018 17:58

I like it, quite a cool name.

Tony Blair...

But on a nicer note, DS is a Leo star sign and is a nice name

ScreamingValenta · 24/01/2018 18:05

It makes me think of Caro Fraser's character of that name Grin.

Leo Lion

AthenaAshton · 24/01/2018 18:08

Tony Blair.

One of my favourite names. I only know one, who's an adult.

I know two boys under 5 called Leo. Both are very smily, easy going and blond haired. I really like the name. One is called Leonard officially, but few people would know this as he's always called Leo. Great name.

A cute mischievous curious and adorable little lion cub. Also my nan had a cat named Leo. He was stupidly cute.
Certainly not a bad association.

I love Leo - it's on my list of possibles.

TallulahBetty · 24/01/2018 21:15

Love it. But I know at least 4 under 7

Leo Sayer, not keen

Camomila · 24/01/2018 21:22

The Lion.

If I have another DS he'll be Leo Alexander :)

raspberrysuicide · 24/01/2018 21:27

My dd has a best friend called Leo and he's lovely x

MsGameandWatching · 24/01/2018 21:29

I have one, so I love it Smile

RuskBaby · 24/01/2018 21:29

Love it! Know 3 under 2’s, most popular option here it seems.

halfwitpicker · 24/01/2018 21:30

Tolstoy

I am bright, though

mum2be2boys · 24/01/2018 22:20

I really like it! I know two under 5 and they are both lovely boys :-)

rcit · 24/01/2018 22:20

Like it

wontonsoup · 24/01/2018 22:28

Slightly chavvy Blush

TheDowagerCuntess · 24/01/2018 22:42

It's fine, no negative connotations at all, although it wouldn't be on my short list...

Buntysoven · 24/01/2018 22:56

Not at all chavvy. Hate that word. Lovely name.

TashieWoo · 24/01/2018 23:19

My brother is called Leo, he’s 27. I also know a 4 year old Leo. It’s a lovely, strong name and I like the fact it’s rarely shortened.

Itchytights · 24/01/2018 23:23

Can’t stand it.

I think of Leo Sayer.

Also know a four year old called Leo who is just a horror.

I think that’s probably why I dislike it so much.

Kpo58 · 25/01/2018 14:51

I don't have an issue in the name itself, but it is really common at the moment. Just be prepared that if you use it that there will probably be another 5 Leo's in the same class at school.
