[Opinions] Leopold?
I've recently warmed up to Leopold, but fear that the associans with Leopold II in Belgium may be a bit too much. Or is it just me who connects almost every name to history? Regardless, I don't think I'd use it out of the MN spot because it's a bit too regal. Here are some combos.Adrian Leopold
Amos Leopold
August Leopold
Franz Leopold
Matthias Leopold
Morgan Leopold
Patrick Leopold
Sasha Leopold
Viktor LeopoldWDTY? Do you have any other ideas for combos?Edited to add Franz Leopold.

There was also Leopold II. Holy Roman Emeperor but he was one of the greatest monarchs who ever lived and I wouldnt be afraid of these connotations anyway, only history freaks like me would automatically think of them hahaAnd I love all your combos except for Sasha and Morgan Leopold. For some reason I dont like boy names ending with an a and I prefer Morgan on girls.

I looove Leopold, both because of the movie Kate and Leopold and because in the only name dream I ever had I named my son Leopold Allan (Allan after my dad). (Plus, as an added bonus, I have an uncle named Leo.) I don't connect it with Belgium but I don't even know who Leopold II was, lol. I'm not really into history all that much though, so I may be one of the only people who doesn't get the connection, I don't know.I really like Adrian Leopold, Franz Leopold, Morgan Leopold (may have to borrow that one!), and Patrick Leopold. Some other suggestions:Allan Leopold
Asher Leopold
Caspar Leopold
Cato Leopold
Edward Leopold
Edmond Leopold
Emeric Leopold
Felix Leopold
Hector Leopold
James Leopold
Jason Leopold
Lukas Leopold
Miles Leopold
Peter Leopold
Seth Leopold
Silas Leopold
Simon Leopold
Stephen Leopold
Titus Leopold

I wouldn't fear that association...I don't think most people would have it.I love the name Leopold. It's among my top male names.From your list, I like August Leopold best, followed by Franz Leopold, Matthias Leopold, and Viktor Leopold.These are my favorite Leopold combos: Charles Leopold, Edgar Leopold, Graham Leopold, and Jasper Leopold. I also especially like Arthur Leopold, Dexter Leopold, Henry Leopold, and Thomas Leopold.

Leopold is a long time favourite of mine. It always gets placed in the mn slot for me, too, as my husband vetoed it as a fn. I've never been fully satisfied with any of my Leopold combos.
Of yours I'm liking August Leopold (though I would personally prefer Augustus Leopold) and Matthias Leopold.
I don't think the historical connections would be too much.
