Leo or Ronnie
Which one better? 😁

Leo is better

Leo. Defo.

Definitely Leo. Not a fan of names like Ronnie, Alfie, Archie etc.

Definitely leo

Leo is one of my favourite names

Ronnie is … not.

I teach an 8 year old Leo and he is lovely. A really pleasant, polite boy who also loves his sport and is well liked by his peers.

Leo. All the Leo’s I’ve met are decent. Unfortunately, I have noticed that most boys named Ronnie are right little brutes, and are seemingly encouraged in their poor behaviour by parents who are hoping he takes after the Kray twins.

Omg Leo.

No way would I ever call a child Ronnie.

Leo is nicer but very overused and will definitely be "of an era". Ronnie sounds like a Kray twin (which he was) - thuggish and chavvy.

There were two brothers at my DD's school (recently!) called Ronnie and Reggie. I kid you not.

Leo. Ronnie's a 65 year old bloke having a fag by the back door of the roughest pub in your village.

I think Ronnie is one of the worst names that you can have.

Leo, of course.

You aren’t naming an octogenarian former East End gangster.

I think they are both ‘naughty names’ but Leo is far better out of the two

I actually prefer Ronnie and think it is quite sweet.

Stop it??? Surely no one is that stupid???

Plot twist, it's for a kitten.

Bloody hell. My dad is a Ronnie and he’s as far from the awful stereotypes on here as possible. Not a ‘chav,’ not a ‘thug,’ not a ‘brute,’ nor a ‘bloke having a fag by the roughest pub in the village’. He’s 93, served his country and nearly got blown to kingdom come in the Korean War - when still a teenager! Yes, he was working class. But he overcame the disadvantages he was born into, and the snobbery of his ‘superiors’ in the Army, and clearly the likes of people on here. He had to undergo electroconvulsive shock therapy - brutal, and barely ‘therapy’ - because that’s how PTSD was treated then. He managed to get into a really good university, in his 30s, and went to taught classics. Sorry if that doesn’t fit your ‘Ronnie’ stereotype.

Leave your stupid kneejerk prejudices at the door, seriously!

It’s absurd and actually quite upsetting to read the stupid shit some of you come out with. These names actually belong to people we know and love.

I think Ronnie is having all bit of a come back! I know about 7 who are under 6!
They are from lovely families who aren't 'thuggish' and or anything like the other ridiculous comments that have been made.

There are lots of elderly Ronnies. Many of them fine gentlemen, I'm sure.

I don't like it for a child now; don't think it works well.

I thought that until my colleague called her child that. Maybe it wasn't great as a baby but by five he couldn't be anything else!

Ronnie is cute but would you use just Ronnie, or a Ron/Ronald?

Leo - Ronnie is an east end gangster as others have said.
