Which name do you like more? I’m undecided.

[name_m]Leonidas[/name_m] is my vote! He’s such a handsome and unexpected choice, and has so many nicknames (Leo, [name_m]Leon[/name_m], [name_m]Dash[/name_m], [name_m]Lenny[/name_m], Nidas).

I like [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m] more, it feels more timeless, cool and unexpected! [name_m]Kaden[/name_m] stands out less with all the Jayden/Aiden/Brayden crowd and there are multiple ways to spell it as well – I just like how straight-forward [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m] is in comparison and I find it really handsome! [name_f]Love[/name_f] the nicknames too.

Kaden and Leonidas are super different IMO, I’d try looking somewhere in the middle, maybe Leo or Kai, or even Kaleo? :heart: (I know someone who named their baby this and it’s still one of my favorite unique baby names I’ve ever heard)

[name_m]Leonidas[/name_m], definitely! He’s much more unexpected with a lot of substance. I really like names with weight to them, strong imagery and vibes (not physically strong, just an easy imagery that comes to mind), and [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m] fits that! I’d also say I think he’d be easier to spell than [name_m]Kaden[/name_m], surprisingly. I think [name_m]Kaden[/name_m] would get [name_m]Caden[/name_m], [name_m]Cayden[/name_m], [name_m]Kayden[/name_m], [name_m]Kaydan[/name_m], [name_m]Caydan[/name_m], etc. [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m] is just [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m]. [name_f]Pretty[/name_f] straightforward, even though the name is so uncommon!

[name_m]Leonidas[/name_m]! I think Caden/Kaden has an appealing sound, but I love [name_m]Leo[/name_m] names, and [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m] especially just feels the epitome of cool. I would love to meet a little [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m]! Good luck!

I’d say [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m] because the next time I hear someone name their kid something ending with [name_m]Adan[/name_m], I’m going to go insane

Tricky, as they have such difference vibes!

I’d go for [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m] - elegant and powerful but with familiar nn [name_m]Leo[/name_m] or [name_m]Leon[/name_m].

[name_m]Kaden[/name_m] is solid too - on trend and familiar.

[name_m]Can[/name_m] I vote for [name_m]Cade[/name_m] or [name_m]Leo[/name_m] instead? Both strike me as more timeless than the -adens or the big ancient Greek names.

[name_m]Leonidas[/name_m]! It has a punch to it, and it has the benefit of having a built in nickname of [name_m]Leo[/name_m].
The meaning is better as well, it means lion, [name_m]Kaden[/name_m] means barrel

I prefer [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m]. It’s more timeless, and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] is a great nickname.

[name_m]Leonidas[/name_m]. No contest.

[name_f]My[/name_f] vote is for [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m]!
