Leonardo or Julian?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

In your opinion. If you don’t like any just scroll on by. The OP is asking specifically about those names.

OP I prefer Leonardo

WhatHappenedToYourFurnitureCuz · 15/06/2026 18:04

Much prefer Julian.

I keep seeing you post that to people. It's a discussion forum, the "in my opinion" is assumed and doesn't need to be stated each time.

Leonardo with Leo for short

No, you say it like it’s a fact. It’s not. Cute that you’re looking me up tho. Kisses

Be aware that kids will likely shorten Julian to Julie. I knew a boy who used his middle name instead of his first name of Julien because of this.

Paranoid much? I've seen you saying it to multiple posters, not including me. It sticks out because it's not normal.

😂😂😂 sure.

WallaceinAnderland · 15/06/2026 18:14

Leo is better than Julian but Leonardo? No, I think that's a bit much.

thelongesday · 15/06/2026 18:15

Leonardo because Julian is wet and has the NN Jules. I don't love Leonardo tbh but at least Leo is a great NN.

Purplecatshopaholic · 15/06/2026 18:22

Julian. Lovely name. Not Leonardo. Unless you are having a turtle..

BeMintFatball · 15/06/2026 18:25

Leonardo if had to choose one of those.

Julian reminds me of a little boy I had to sit next to in infants school. He farted a lot

GustyGertie · 15/06/2026 18:31

Leo but not Leonardo. Leon?

Firebird83 · 15/06/2026 18:55

Both are great names but I think Julian as Leo is so popular.

Mycarsmellsoflavender · 15/06/2026 19:09

On first impressions, I imagine Julian as a head boy type who ends up working in the City and Leonardo as a magnet for women.

Bellybellas · 15/06/2026 20:18

Julian is much nicer!

The op asked which one you prefer. No need to comment if you don’t prefer any of them and therefore can’t answer the question

Eggybreadwithnuts · 15/06/2026 20:21

Julian as Leonardo WILL get shortened by everyone to Leo

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 15/06/2026 20:22

Leonard (Len or Lenny for short) is lovely. A possible alternative?
