Owen or Leo?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all, I need some opinions on baby number 2 name.

I am in LOVE with 2 names: [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and Owen. Hubby prefers Owen, but he also likes [name_m]Leo[/name_m] a lot. I have a toddler named [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] Luke, I LOVE his name. He goes by Alex. I do not necessarily want a name for the second baby that matches his.

However, I am thorn, I love how short and cute these 2 names are. If we use [name_u]Owen[/name_u] it will go with middle name William. He would be called Owen. (Alex and Owen).
I still don’t have a combo for [name_m]Leo[/name_m] though. Any suggestions? (Alex and Leo). Another thing to consider. [name_u]Baby[/name_u] would be born in [name_u]August[/name_u] making him a [name_m]Leo[/name_m] zodiac sign. Not picking this name because of it though, this really is a coincidence lol.

I would appreciate comments, opinions that could make our decision a bit easier. [name_u]Or[/name_u] if you have any other name suggestions that you don’t mind sharing.

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Luke[/name_m] is a great name. For a baby brother, either [name_u]Owen[/name_u] or [name_m]Leo[/name_m] would be perfect. They’re both super handsome classic names. They’re equally timeless & equally popular in 2021 (basically), so you can’t use those factors to decide…I see your problem! :joy:

Staring w/Owen, I feel like this gives off a vibe of a thoughtful, maybe slightly outdoorsy, quiet kind fella.

[name_m]Leo[/name_m] gives off a more quirky clever cheeky guy vibe.

You may want to decide sooner, but I’d say if it’s narrowed down to two, take both to the birth & let him tell you which name suites him.

Of course that being said, I’ll go ahead & throw a few more ideas at you. Maybe something will stand out…

Thank you so much! Yes, we still have have time to decide. Maybe with time it will come to us, or maybe even when we see him. :blush: The good news is that we love both names, so worse comes to worse we can always just flip a coin lol jkjk.

Really either name would be great - I see why you have a tough time choosing! I do feel like [name_u]Alex[/name_u] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] vibe better together; they both seem to have a cool, almost international vibe.

Some combos for Leo:
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_u]Christian[/name_u]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Nicolas[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Damian[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_u]Maxwell[/name_u]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Demetrius[/name_m]

I tried to pull some Greek names since [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] and [name_m]Luke[/name_m] are both Greek, but ones that are still traditional sounding. I hope this helps!

For you my favourite is Owen.

[name_m]Leo[/name_m] generally is my favourite name from the two however for [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Luke[/name_m] brother my favourite is Owen. I just feel that [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Luke[/name_m] feels very formal and despite being known as [name_u]Alex[/name_u] just has a lot of grandeur that the nickname [name_m]Leo[/name_m] lacks. [name_m]Leo[/name_m] just feels too short like [name_m]Leo[/name_m] should be a nickname for [name_m]Leonard[/name_m] or [name_m]Leon[/name_m] rather than just Leo. Whereas [name_u]Owen[/name_u] stylistically feels complete and I think works. Also as you love both & your husband appears to love [name_u]Owen[/name_u] more then I would go with [name_u]Owen[/name_u] a name you have equal love for.
