Any ideas on Leon?

I wanted something different and not too common that sounded like Leo but not Leo as it sounds too much like a cats name, so was just wondering what people thought? He is due in 3 weeksish, DP and I mostly agree on the names we like, luckily, but are completely stuck as to which one we will choose! Your thoughts please...

I really like Leon - it was nearly ds2's name but dh wanted Leo instead and we couldn't agree.

Both are great names imo

When I was teaching there seemed to be a huge number of Leon's (okay, I think there were 4) and my Canadian flatmate always said it was a Pimp's name.

I dont think theres anything wrong with Leo, I would seriously consider Leo for a boy except for everyone always teasing DH for looking like Mr Dicaprio so dont think it would go down one little bit in that case! Leon is nice too!

I like Leon. On a slight detour- I taught a Leon whose little brother was called Neil. Always thought it was almost the same but backwards.

Leon - oh no. I know one and he's an ar*e!!!!
Leo is nicer.

And yes, it always immediately echoes 'pig farmer' in my brain.
Which is never a good thing, IMO
