I prefer the spelling [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and I would be surprised to meet a [name_m]Leo[/name_m] that was not a boy.
For sure [name_m]LEO[/name_m] for spelling. I’ve never seen [name_m]Lio[/name_m] and would think it’s just a trendy way to be “unique”. Not a fan. But I love [name_m]Leo[/name_m].
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] is so sweet and handsome.
I do think it could make a cool nickname for a girl, though! Maybe for [name_f]Leona[/name_f] or [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] or something. I wouldnt be surprised to meet a female [name_m]Leo[/name_m], and I’d probably compliment her on her name!
I prefer [name_m]Leo[/name_m], just because I’d be confused on how to pronounce [name_m]Lio[/name_m].
As for it being unisex, I’ve seen [name_m]Leo[/name_m] as a nickname for [name_f]Leonore[/name_f].
I’m not sure where you’re from, but in [name_u]America[/name_u] [name_m]Leo[/name_m] is the expected/normal spelling, and spelling it [name_m]Lio[/name_m] instead would just make it more difficult for the child
I prefer the spelling [name_m]Leo[/name_m] by far, and would be very surprised to meet a girl by the name of [name_m]Leo[/name_m], unless it was short for [name_f]Leona[/name_f] or something of the sort (in which case it would be very cute). However, I’m not fond of just [name_m]Leo[/name_m] on a girl
Both are great, but I prefer [name_m]Leo[/name_m]. [name_m]Leo[/name_m] on a girl is a GP of mine and it’s great to know I’m not alone in seeing it on both genders 
I love [name_m]Leo[/name_m] for both sexes! But definitely spell it [name_m]Leo[/name_m]; [name_m]Lio[/name_m] will cause no end of irritation for him/her throughout life.
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] for a boy, and I like [name_f]Lilo[/name_f] for a girl.
