Leo, Leon, Lenny, Leonard…we’ve used them all so far. Dad is a fan of Leon Russell so that’s a favorite (and partially how we landed on Leonard). Reply Crystal Jan 15 at 9:06 am Love the nickname Lenny! Favorite Stevie ray vaugn song Reply Stephanie Dec 13 at 7:48 am It’s my father-in-laws name and it also means “Lion” which happens to be a constellation in the sky. Which is my favorite! Reply Anne Aug 25 at 10:10 am We wanted to honor my father since he has four daughters who will likely not pass down his surname. We found a great grandfather whose name was Leonhard, and felt that Leo was the perfect fit. Reply Royal Jun 13 at 2:43 pm Was my grandfathers first name – and was super close to him. He passed away when I was little,but knew my whole life if I had a boy he would be named after him! We like that it really isn’t a common/ popular name and it’s old school. We usually shorten and use Len! Reply Share your thoughts on the name Leonard Cancel ReplyYour email address will not be published.
