WDYT of the name Leo?
| Sat, 03-05-2005 - 10:16am |
Hello,
We are having a baby in August and just discussing different names (we don't know the sex). DH and I both finally agreed that we liked Leo - we have a long, 4 syllable Italian last name ending in "o" and it is short and flows. Plus we think it is a strong name to go with our son Vincent (Vince). Just wanted to get some feedback on what people think of the name.
Thanks!

I love Leo! I have a nearly 19 year old Leo myself, so I must really like it! Best of all, I can report honestly that he too, loves his name. I think Leo's a great choice!
edited to add that brothers Vincent & Leo are awesome.

Hello!
I think Leo is a great name! One thing that I try to avoid is having the first and last names end in the same letter. Leonardo Dicaprio sounds kind of sing-songy to me, but it worked for him !
My last name ends in "a" and it would be so difficult trying to find a name that I loved for a little girl that doesn't end in 'a'. I don't know where I heard that you shouldn't have the last letters be the same, but in some cases it makes sense.
But if you really like the name (which I do!) i would go with it.

it makes me think too much of Leo the Lion and the whole Zodiac thing.
I also don't think I'd like it with a last name that also ends in O.
here are some I think match up well with Vincent and would go with most Italian names
Andrew, Anthony, Christopher, Donovan, Joshua, Lucas, Matthew, Michael, Marcus, Nathan or Nathaniel, Nicholas, Zachary.
good luck.
As mom to 3 year old Leo Gabriel, I just love the name. He looks like a Leo too...strawberry blonde hair. We have had nothing but good response to his name and I reall y think it fits him well. Best of luck with your pregnancy and baby.

I love the name Leo. Great pick! Does it flow nicely with your last name?

I think Leo is great! It makes me think of a sweet boy and man...it has a warm teddy bear feeling to me...I like it a lot!! I especially like it with a long Italian ln and with Vince...Vince and Leo definitely feel like brothers to me :)
