Lionel?

[Josiefuzz]

Yay or nay for Lionel? Means Little Lion. Not sure if it's too marmite or not.

Dislike it

Like it.

I’d be worried he’d come out tapdancing and playing charades.

Blair? Messie? Shriver?
Leon is a wonderful name.

Actually, I like Lionel.

The only one I've ever known irl is a grade a twat so, no.

@Pinkarsedfly 😂😂😂😂

I really don't like it so it's a nay from me but I'm old enough to associate it with Lionel Blair

I really love Leo, though - but that has suddenly got very popular.

Oh Lionel Blair is my first thought and that would put me off.

It's a resounding nay from me.

@Fuma so annoying when that happens, that's why we struggling as we have obviously known too many twats 😂

Lionel might be shortened to Leo, as in Messi.

I think it's lovely as is the meaning but the associations (Blair, Ritchie) might put me off as mean lots of people find it dated. Would love it if it had a resurgence though!

I think it's rather sweet.

Lion-ell or Lee-oh-nell

nay, nay and thrice nay can't be revived imo OP

Yes I like it,

Hello?

Is it me you’re looking for?

Not a fan

This thread is making me chuckle.

Sorry OP, it’s not often I veto a name someone likes but...

Fair enough 😂😂😂😂 glad I asked but I still think it's cute, x thanks all x

To be fair though it is a sweet name objectively, and his friends won’t have heard of Lionel Blair or Ritchie

Leonardo is nice as an alternative? There is one at DS’s school.

Messi is probably a more common association for the younger generation

Blair. Just reminds me of I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue on radio 4 where Jack Dee tips poor Lionel a new one every week!
