I think we are close to picking a name. We are due in [name_f]April[/name_f] and are team green. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I like both [name_u]Leo[/name_u] or [name_u]Luca[/name_u] if it’s a boy. I worry a bit about popularity. We live in [name_f]Canada[/name_f] and these are both up there in popularity. Also looking for a middle name to go with either name. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband likes [name_u]Beckett[/name_u] or [name_u]Bennett[/name_u] however last name is two syllables and ends in ‘key’ just not sure if it follows.
Also will consider other first names. We like but can’t use are [name_u]Milo[/name_u] and [name_u]Arlo[/name_u]
I’d go [name_u]Leo[/name_u] [name_u]Beckett[/name_u] or [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]Bennett[/name_u] as the repeating hard “k” sound in [name_u]Luca[/name_u] and [name_u]Beckett[/name_u] is a little rough to my ear. I like [name_u]Luca[/name_u] better than [name_u]Leo[/name_u] but that’s just me!
I vote for [name_u]Leo[/name_u] [name_u]Bennett[/name_u] of those options. I don’t live in [name_f]Canada[/name_f] but suspect both are quite popular - if [name_u]Luca[/name_u], Lucas/Lukas and just [name_m]Luke[/name_m] are combined, there would perhaps be more than [name_u]Leo[/name_u], [name_m]Leonardo[/name_m], [name_m]Leopold[/name_m], [name_u]Leon[/name_u] combined?
Since the Lastname is also two syllables, you could consider either a one syllable or 3/4 syllable middle, e.g. [name_u]Leo[/name_u] John/James, or [name_u]Leo[/name_u] Alexander/Xavier/Benedict/Benjamin. Also like [name_m]Luke[/name_m] Inigo/Emmanuel/Orlando. I think it can be nice if you can find a middle name that you like the sound of but you also feel connects to you - perhaps something in your family tree or something meaningful like a location or nature name, or faith or heritage connection, e.g. your father/grandfather, your surname or a maiden name, particularly on the mother’s side if the surname is the father’s. A maternal surname might be more unusual.
Both are fab. However my favourite is [name_u]Leo[/name_u]
[name_u]Leo[/name_u] is outdoorsy, sweet, handsome, summery and has a really melodic sound. I have loved [name_u]Leo[/name_u] for such a long time. I think [name_u]Leo[/name_u] is gorgeous! I think [name_u]Leo[/name_u] [name_u]Beckett[/name_u] sounds fabulous. Whereas I think due to repeated sounds [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]Bennett[/name_u] has a better flow.
They’re both so handsome! I slightly prefer [name_u]Luca[/name_u], I love the fashionable, international feel of it. It’s also a bit less popular than [name_u]Leo[/name_u], since that’s something you’re worried about! I think [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]Bennett[/name_u] (Last name in -key) works well!
