I know it's quite popular atm but I don't seem to meet that many. How many Leos do you know (especially children?)

I know of two, both young teens.

Great name!

Coffeeinsunshine · 02/07/2024 09:46

I know two. One in primary school and one an ex colleague guessing about 60 now.

Coffeeinsunshine · 02/07/2024 09:46

I like the name too.

Roselilly36 · 02/07/2024 09:48

Lovely name, I know two Leo’s one is 23, the other is a few months old.

AllBlackEverything · 02/07/2024 09:49

I know three baby Leo's that have been born this year.

FellowshipOfTheBing · 02/07/2024 09:55

Both my kids are at nursery. I LOVE the name Leo but there are 3 Leo's in the toddler room and 2 Leo's in the baby room so it's definitely experiencing a resurgence!!

I know a nine year old and 2 six year olds.

thecrispfiend · 02/07/2024 10:02

I have a primary aged Leo 🥰 only know one other from church who is older. Know a few Theos though!

Alwaystired23 · 02/07/2024 10:02

I know of one, approaching teens.

Wallabyone · 02/07/2024 10:04

It's very popular here-5 in my small school.

I personally know a ten year old Leo, a 12 year old Leo in another country, a 39 year old Leo, a 71 year old Leo, an 80 year old Leo and I have heard of another baby Leo who is a friend of a friend..

ReadtheReviews · 02/07/2024 10:14

I only know one, y7.

Bells3032 · 02/07/2024 10:32

Loads of Leos under 3 round here. along with Theo and Noahs it seems to be the most popular. other than that i don't know any kids of the rest of the top ten names. sometimes it's just weird breakdown of where kids are based

Liv999 · 02/07/2024 14:31

I only know two, one in his seventies and a seven year old but I'm in Ireland don't think it's quite as popular here

Sundaysunshine21 · 02/07/2024 15:07

I know one who is about 13 now and know/know of quite a few little ones (3 and under). I think it is very popular at the moment.

Els1e · 02/07/2024 15:13

I don’t know any in West Dorset.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 02/07/2024 15:19

It was very popular here 10 years ago (as in every third boy was a Leo popular) but I think it burnt out from overuse and people moved on to other names. It's always a good name though.

cheezncrackers · 02/07/2024 16:04

I know two - both 13

Moreteaandchocolate · 02/07/2024 16:26

I don’t know any! But love the name!

InTheRainOnATrain · 02/07/2024 16:30

One in almost year group at school from the nursery class upwards. Lots of European families here and I think it’s so popular because it’s one of those names that works in multiple languages.

Keepsmiling2948 · 02/07/2024 16:36

I had a baby in July and there were 2 Leo’s on the same ward as me, I also know of one who is 76 although I’m sure he is a Leonard and Leo for short. I think it’s going it’s made a comeback this last year or two.

Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 02/07/2024 16:40

I know of 4 In DC year group. I used to really like the name until I met a particular
Leo, absolute devil.

ShallWeGoToTheFirepit · 02/07/2024 16:41

There's 4 in DDs preschool!

CatamaranViper · 02/07/2024 16:41

I know loads.
At least 2 in their mid 30s. DS has 3 in his year group and there is at least 1 in every other year group at his school currently.

WhereIsMyLight · 02/07/2024 16:42

2 Leo’s both aged around 3. Both at opposite ends of the country too.
