Leonardo for a boy ?

[mybabyname]

What does everyone think ?

Leonardo is fine for a boy and man..
I prefer Leonard and Leo and Leomin

Nice

It’s inoffensive. Leo is the (almost inevitable) diminutive which is about as exciting as a glass of water.

I love Leo

If you don’t have Italian heritage I think I’d stick with Leo or Leon or Leonard rather than Leonardo.

It's nice. I like Leo (as a proper name) even more.

I think it’s a bit odd without Italian links. I do like how it sounds, however.

I prefer just Leo, I think it's much nicer.

Leo or Leon both nice but not leonardo

i like it but I’d call him Lenny day to day

I love it!

Leo is fine 🙂

Depends. Leonardo Wilson is a bit much.

To carry off Leonardo I think you really need Italian heritage.

Leo or Leon, Leonard if you must, are perfectly fine.

It’s nice. There are loads of Leos (and Theos) about, if that bothers you.

Sorry don't like it-but Leo is fine.

Well it’s certainly not a girls name.
Best if you have an Italian/Mediterranean connection.

It's actually a lovely name, but my fist thought was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Probably showing my age there 😅
If you have an Italian connection then it's fine- kids today won't know the turtle thing! If not I'd just stick with Leo.

If you're actually going for that and naming him AFTER the the turtle, then I think Raphael is much nicer!

It's a very common name where I live (not Italy!). I like it! Lovely name!

Agreed.

Leo is nice but Leonardo/Luigi/Vincenzo/etc would be a bit weird for somebody of English heritage. A bit like calling your son Akimbombo.

Heroes in a half shell!

😂

I never got the half shell thing. Turtles have a whole shell. 🤔
