Leo?

[rosegarden95]

What’s everyone think of the name Leo
anyone else’s son have this name?

I think it's quite a common name, easy to say and all know how to write it. Would go well especially if you have a long surname.

I love this name, if you don’t mind it’s popularity

I really like it. Babies called Leo in England & Wales since 1996

The only downside is that Theo and Theodore are so popular, and I don't like those names.

My nephew has this name and it is gorgeous, it really suits him.

However, SIL said thay wherever they go he is often 1 of several Leos. In his class at school there are 3! Very unlucky. He's in year 3 I think.

It’s very faddy/trendy and may well start to sound dated.

I prefer more timeless names

Love it

@Bluelilacbella , i knew a couple of adult Leos long before the current trend for it, but I think Theo being so popular, that Theo will become dated, dragging Leo with it. They'll be OK for the next decade or so.

Ten a penny

I really like the name Leo but unfortunately a lot of new parents have liked that name and continue to do so and it's going to be very popular for a while.
But if you like it you should use it, your DS won't be the first child to be in a class with a couple or more other kids with the same name.

Yes, the Theo/Leo trend has to go out of fashion soon imo

I really like it

My 12 year old son is called Leo. Still absolutely love the name and it suits him.

I like it 👌

My son is called Leo and it is more popular than I anticipated at the time, there are 3 in his year of 50 students. It does suit him so much though and I love love love it as a name. It was going to be that, Rory or Zack. He has two middle names he could always change it up with in future.

Love it but there is usually at least one in a baby class or soft play. More Theos and Teds though!

It’s really popular and will likely date because of that. It’s one of the reasons I didn’t choose it.

Theo and Leo are so overused these days… they will date badly imo

A favourite name of mine. Lovely and traditional too. Wish I had the chance to use it. It is popular but that’s fir a reason

I'm so old my main thought when I hear Leo is 'Like Tony Blair's youngest child'. Why is it popular now (Leo Blair is 24 so I'd have thought any popularity associated with him has disappeared)?

Pope Leo

I think it’s a good name.

I don’t know any young Leo’s, I know a few in their 20s.

Absolutely love the name Leo! People saying it's popular but I don't know any - and I work with under 5s!

@JaninaDuszejko It wasn't particularly popular at the time. He was named after his grandfather.Baby name explorer
The 'Lee' sound has been popular for decades. Lee then Liam then Leo.
