Clunky Boy names

Boy Names
1

I am just loving super clunky boy names right now! I like giving the option of a lighter nick name though.
Are either of these options “cool” or not so much? Any other ideas?

[name]Napoleon[/name] “[name]Neo[/name]” “[name]Leon[/name]” “[name]Leo[/name]”
[name]Heathcliff[/name] “[name]Heath[/name]” or “[name]Cliff[/name]”

Thanks!!!

I actually kinda like [name]Heathcliff[/name] nn [name]Heath[/name] (not [name]Cliff[/name]). [name]Napoleon[/name] I don’t like. [name]How[/name] about [name]Leopold[/name] nn [name]Leo[/name]?

[name]Leopold[/name] is super cute, but my sister is pregnant and loving [name]Leo[/name] at the moment! [name]Rufus[/name] is kind of cute too…??

[name]Hi[/name]. I have some love for [name]Heathcliff[/name], nn [name]Heath[/name] ([name]Love[/name] Wuthering Heights ref). Not into [name]Napoleon[/name] as all I think of is short-man syndrome and [name]Napoleon[/name] Dynamite.

From the suggestions above, I really like [name]Barnaby[/name] and [name]Bartholomew[/name]. [name]Balthazar[/name] could be fun, nn Balt.
