Alexander or Leo?

[NannyPear]

Which do you prefer?

NC for this as it's obviously outing but I have two boys - Alexander and Leo! The older one is Alexander so I guess in that sense it was my first choice but I love, love the name Leo. Funnily enough I know hardly any other boys his age named Leo. He's 3. Alex is 5 and I know a couple of other Alexanders. I don't think they're overly popular actually but in any event, I think they are classics and will endure for ever.

Ha - snap @YouSetTheTone ! Mine are the other way around though

I have a Leo , he's in his 20's now. I was a bit pissed when tony Blair copied us and name their son Leo 🤣
Only met 1 other Leo since I had my son

I like Leo. Far too many Alex’s around for my liking. Leo Alexander sounds nice.
Max is a similar name you might also like?

Leo

Prefer Alexander.

Leo i would think suggests a particular time of birth

Leo

Tabbie I do like Max too! Also on the shortlist.

Aargh I do keep going back to Leo. I'm in Scotland and it made the top 10 last year, that's literally the only thing putting me off as I love the name.

I love both. I would probably go for Leonardo (Leo) Alexander.

I love both too. I'd probably opt for Leo but it's close.
