I would go with Leo if presented with just those two choices TBH. I guess he would become Leo or Jules, whatever your views on the matter are: which of those do you prefer?

Julius Caesar
Leonardo da Vinci

Leonidas sort of combines both.

Julius.

I quite like both just please don't say Leonardo as though you are Italian if you are not. I know a mum who does this and it is beyond cringe!

Leon or Jullian.

Julius

Neither, both are silly. I may consider Leo but nothing more.

Julius

It feels more wearable than Leonardo and I prefer Jules to Leo as a nickname.

Leonardo nn Leo
impo Julius is wet, there’s something snivelly about it

I’m bias because I have one, I have a Leo and as soon as I found out I was having a boy I knew it was the one.

MynameisnotJohn · 14/05/2026 12:49

Both good. Love Julius. I know a gorgeous young Julius who is tall dark and handsome and hugely muscled so I can’t see it as a wet name!

Neither of them.
