Middles for Leon

DH and I are adding to the list and I was pleasantly surprised that he likes the name [name_m]Leon[/name_m] ([name_u]LEE[/name_u]-on)! It’s been a long time favorite so I’m very excited to add it on the short list but I need a middle name! We’re pretty picky so I’m expecting this to be an uphill battle but I’m hoping you berries will be able to help us out! :slight_smile:

We tend to like more uncommon/less heard of names (ex: Caspian & Asher) as well as word and nature names (ex: [name_u]Lyric[/name_u] & [name_u]Kai[/name_u]). Occasionally we like more common names (ex: [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] & [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]) so I guess we’re all over the place!

Thank you in advance for any suggestions :slight_smile:

Ideas to present DH…
Leon Alistair
Leon Adair
Leon Sebastian
Leon Wilder
Leon Giles
Leon Blue (honor/family name)
Leon Xavier

Yay, another [name_m]Leon[/name_m] lover! I was so shocked that DH liked it (especially since we are playing Resident Evil 6 where the main character is [name_m]Leon[/name_m]. He usually shoots down reference names if I bring them up too soon after playing the game/watching the tv show or movie). I really like [name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] and [name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]. [name_m]Leon[/name_m] Davor is so intriguing!

[name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Crispin[/name_m]

@lovemysweeties
[name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Apollo[/name_m], [name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m], [name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] are lovely! I have a feeling DH would love [name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Giles[/name_m], I’ll have to bring it up to him :slight_smile:

I’m also toying with [name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_u]Blue[/name_u] as an honor name to replace Vaugh, since [name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] doesn’t flow well (although I think it looks handsome on paper).

[name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Beckett[/name_m]
[name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Emmanuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Adriel[/name_m]

[name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Alistair[/name_m] is wonderful! It gives me such a “cool guy/bad@ss” vibe. I really like [name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] too.

[name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_u]Blue[/name_u] sounds really nice.

Thank you! It’s my mom’s maiden name and the middle name of my brother who passed in 2013.

Also considering [name_u]Adair[/name_u] or [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] as potential middles. I feel like a more uncommon “cool” middle works better with [name_m]Leon[/name_m]. Common middles make it feel a little frumpy to me.

Your combinations make me think of a charming little boy who grows up into an effortlessly cool young man. Here are some more names that give me this vibe:

[name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m] (I noticed [name_m]Fox[/name_m] in your signature and love it!)
[name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m]
[name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]
[name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]
[name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Gunnar[/name_m]
[name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_u]Micah[/name_u]
[name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_u]River[/name_u] or [name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Rivers[/name_m]

If you guys love it, I would go with [name_u]Blue[/name_u]. Really nice that it would honor your late brother and a whole side of the family.

@alberrypie
If [name_m]Fox[/name_m] wasn’t going to be the first name we use [name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m] would be an amazing combination! Maybe someone else someday can use it and I can be pleased :slight_smile: I really love [name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] and [name_m]Leon[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]! I’m so glad my combinations give you that impression, that’s exactly what I’m going for! I feel like [name_m]Leon[/name_m] can go into “effortlessly cool” or “frumpy old guy” name so I want to be careful on the pairing.

@lovemysweeties I have to get DH feedback on it. My main hesitation is that while it honors my brother and my mom, it also by default honors a lot of family that I don’t really like (long history of drugs and other bad things) so it sort of flip flops for me. [name_m]How[/name_m] DH reacts will probably push it one way or another for me.
