Leopold?

[meadowlarks]

I've always had a soft spot for Leopold, and given that it would be shortened to Leo, it's only unusual as a full name. Any thoughts?

I like it very much! Very cool and unusual.

I like it Think it's my favourite Leo- name.

Isn't it the name of an unspeakably cruel Belgian tyrant who colonised the Congo?

Nice name, though.

Don't like it at all, sounds like a musketeer or something...Sorry!!!

Dunno Blu... but it's what Mozart's father was called.

King Leopold and the genocide in the Congo

I love it- v stately but easy to shorten too!

You know tomorrow is Blooms day - no idea when you are due but would be very appropriate for a June 16th baby

awful

lovely

Love Leopold.

SJisontheway - It would, wouldn't it? Joyce is a writer very close to my heart too, so that's another reason Leopold is great.

I really like it. I'm surprised it's not more popular.

What a find! Really lovely name and super-unusual. Leo for short is nice too.

It is actually my due date but DH won't go for Leopold. I have Molly picked out for a girl though

Beatme to it Blu.
Yerrible connotations.

I love Leo, I've got one hahaha. I don't like Leopold though.

Hmm, yes it's quite nice. Definitely has character.

Nice old Germanic sounding name.

I have a Leo and I wish that I'd called him Leopold. So does he. Go for it.

Thanks for all your opinions

I love Leopold too.

My OH is called Leopold, people call him Leo (except our dentist who says Leopold all the time, it's really funny), but his friends are known him as Poldek. It suits him perfectly.
