Thoughts on Leonidas as a middle name for a boy
It's either leonidas or Theodore for middle name

He'll be nicknamed Chocolate or similar

DelphiniumBlue · 08/03/2024 23:16

Do you have Spartan connections?
But it's a very powerful name, I think it would be fab as a middle name, like a secret ace up his sleeve! Announcing to the world that you are expecting great things!

It's fine for a middle name. Do you have Greek connections? Theodore is lovely.

SemperIdem · 08/03/2024 23:55

Go for it as a middle name!

As long as your surname isn't cadburys Grin

Great name.

MaloneMeadow · 09/03/2024 00:48

Sounds like a disease!

Babla · 09/03/2024 01:05

This is the name of a chocolate brand

LauderSyme · 09/03/2024 01:58

Leonidas is a fabulous name! Much more original than Theodore, though I do love that too.

CurlsnSunshinetime4tea · 09/03/2024 02:25

Nothing wrong with Leon.
Unless you have some strong Greek heritage or connection it's a strong no for the Leonidas version from me.

UpsideLeft · 09/03/2024 02:26

I much prefer Theodore

bigyellowTpot · 09/03/2024 02:27

how is it pronounced?

AmazingLemonDrizzle · 09/03/2024 02:35

I'd stick to Leon personally

beAsensible1 · 09/03/2024 02:45

Excellent. Very strong. Really beautiful

GreenRaven · 09/03/2024 02:47

nice

OhamIreally · 09/03/2024 06:22

Mmmm chocolate

Very handsome for a boy's second name.
Leonidis is great.
First time I have seen it as an option.

I also like Leonard, Leonardo, Leon, Leo and Leomin.

Moreteaandchocolate · 09/03/2024 06:24

I prefer Theodore, but if you love Leonidas then it’s fine for a middle name.

MissMelanieH · 09/03/2024 06:26

I love it!
Plus as a middle name if he hates it he can drop it or shorten it to Leo or Leon.

EnterNowhere · 09/03/2024 09:23

I have a family member with this name and goes by Leo :)

VenusClapTrap · 09/03/2024 09:34

Great middle name.

QueSyrahSyrah · 09/03/2024 09:35

Oooh my favourite chocolate (opened this thread mistakenly thinking it was about chocolate).

Previousreligion · 09/03/2024 10:04

My first thought was the Leonids meteor shower.

MistyMountainTop · 09/03/2024 10:08

It's a middle name. Use whatever you want, nobody will know what it is!

Mercurial123 · 09/03/2024 10:12

No it's awful.
