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!
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
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]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
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]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.
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 [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 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.
