If people know your dh's middle name maybe that's why there have been a few mixed reactions, because the names are a little similar. But I don't think it matters, personally! I really like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-please-1#post-2386904 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 11:39:23 +0000 LalaLove 2386904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! I'm glad to get some positive feedback!! I forgot to mention my daughters name is Isla Grace, I think they work well together.<br /> My husband finally got on board because he likes the strong history behind the name and the lion meaning, but since he wasn't into it at first I feel like he just gave in and shook my confidence about it. Also I think his family knows a lot of older Italian guys named Leo so they think of it as an old man name lol or they think of uncle Leo from Seinfeld haha. I haven't heard of many Leo's and never watched Seinfeld so to me it feels youthful and vibrant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-please-1#post-2386895 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 11:28:29 +0000 mrsrain 2386895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually love Leo. I would have chosen it for DS, but I like it more as a nickname (for us). Great choice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-please-1#post-2386880 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 11:07:32 +0000 wrkbrk 2386880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it! Leo was on our list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-please-1#post-2386855 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 10:09:51 +0000 Mamasig 2386855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it! My second son goes by Leo. It is short for Leonardo which was my grandfather's name. I've also never met another Leo in real life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-please-1#post-2386817 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 09:05:12 +0000 Mrs. Peanut 2386817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it a lot! I would use Leonard James if you can and then call him Leo. He may want a more formal name later in life. That's just my opinion though. It's a great name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-please-1#post-2386816 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 09:00:34 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2386816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Makes me think there is a family connection and in this case there is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-please-1#post-2386787 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 07:26:43 +0000 lovehoneybee 2386787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE it! Leo (Henry) was on our short list, and James would have ended up being the middle name if it was a boy! And I love that it's paying homage to your husband's name but still being uniquely his! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-please-1#post-2386781 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 06:54:00 +0000 bloved 2386781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-please-1#post-2386777 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 06:03:27 +0000 NCSUchick27 2386777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Leo James! </p> <p>The first thing that comes to mind when I hear the name Leo is the actor Leonardo DiCaprio, but that's not a bad thing. I don't think anyone will think you named your baby after him especially if they know your DH's name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-please-1#post-2386775 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 05:08:19 +0000 hellobeeboston 2386775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-please-1#post-2386769 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 03:47:17 +0000 gracecat 2386769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-please-1#post-2386768 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 03:31:44 +0000 mrschickpea 2386768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:heart: Leo James! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-please-1#post-2386765 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 03:07:55 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2386765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it! Leo was my grandfather's name and also a beloved great uncle but my cousin used it a few years ago when Her first son was born so it wasn't an option for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-please-1#post-2386764 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 02:46:41 +0000 sometimesshesings 2386764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it! It was on our short list, but we kept getting hung up on it sounding like a nickname. We don't love the longer versions of the name--Leonardo, Leonard, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-please-1#post-2386760 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 02:09:37 +0000 lamariniere 2386760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-please-1#post-2386752 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 00:41:28 +0000 jedeve 2386752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-please-1#post-2386751 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 00:37:21 +0000 LalaLove 2386751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just for fun and I'm really curious! It's pretty much official since our daughter tells everyone but I would like to know what comes to mind when you hear this name. I get mixed reactions or no reaction when I say it. </p> <p>Leo<br /> *He will be Leo James ( my DH is James Leonard) my name idea took a while for DH to love it. </p>
