I posted a little while ago now with a list of our faves for baby boy number #3 and since then it seems [name_m]Leo[/name_m] is shaping up to be the front runner. The popularity does concern me a lot (I’m in Australia) but it is a name I’ve loved for years, through the first two kids, so I don’t want to regret using it. We didn’t use it for the first two as [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] was always my fave girls name so wanted to save it just incase we had a girl.
Other names we are still considering are:
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] (husband is hesitant as he hates nickname [name_m]Luke[/name_m])
[name_u]Van[/name_u] (not 100%)
[name_u]Kit[/name_u] (not really considering, husband doesn’t like)
[name_u]Freddie[/name_u] (don’t like nickname [name_m]Fred[/name_m])
Is [name_m]Leo[/name_m] the best option with our other boys [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and [name_u]Remy[/name_u]?
Now for the middle name. If we don’t use [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] as a first, we’d really love to use it as a middle with [name_m]Leo[/name_m].
What do you think of [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_u]Freddie[/name_u]? [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] is a special name for us but I’m not a huge lover of it, especially as it sounds so long with our three syllable last name.
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] sounds like the perfect name for you! It is great with the brother names and if you have liked it this long, chances are, it’s a keeper. I do prefer [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] to [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_u]Freddie[/name_u]. It doesn’t sound that much longer, but it feels more complete.
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] is great! I prefer [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] as well, but [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] definitely works if you like it more.
I think [name_m]Leo[/name_m] goes very well with [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and [name_u]Remy[/name_u]! Other names that feel similar to me are:
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m]
[name_u]Seth[/name_u]
[name_m]Clay[/name_m]
[name_m]Mateo[/name_m]
[name_u]Charlie[/name_u]
[name_m]Troy[/name_m]
[name_m]Willem[/name_m]
[name_m]Ben[/name_m]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Enzo[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_m]Barney[/name_m]
I do love [name_m]Leo[/name_m] with [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and [name_u]Remy[/name_u]. [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] works fine, though I prefer [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]. I like [name_u]Kit[/name_u], but not so much with brother [name_u]Finn[/name_u], and like [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] but not so much with brother [name_u]Remy[/name_u] - bit samey in sounds.
