what are your thoughts on this name? I liked Liam when I was pregnant with my dd (Michaela) but my last name starts with an M so it just runs together and sounds kind of like Leo anyway. Does it seem dated when you compare it to the top 100 names? MN would be John.

I like it and don't find it dated. It's much better than Liam.

I really like Leo. It's a bit nickname-y but it's a very cool name.

I love the name Leo. It's handsome, strong, easy to spell and isn't over-used, but also isn't out there. It's not dated at all imo. Leo John would be a very nice combo.

I like Leo, what's not to like! A lion name! so strong.

no, not dated. It's classic.

It's sometimes used in my area, both alone, and as a combined name, usually Leo-Paul.

Leo John is really nice. I'd prefer Leo Jonathan a bit more.

I like Leo. It's cute, "new" and something the child can use as a youngster and as an older gentleman, imo.

It doesn't seem dated at all. I really like it. Leo John is nice, but seems rather short.

Well, this is my grandson's name. His full name is actually Leonidas, his nickname is Leo.

I'm sort of partial to it now because it IS his name, but..it's still not a big favorite of mine, and not something I would have chosen myself.

A lot of people seem to really like Leo, though.

I think that it was dated for a long time, but it no longer is. I think that it's going to rise in popularity.

I absolutely love Leo. I don't think it's dated at all. Leo John sounds a little short, though. Maybe go with Leonardo or Leonidas nn Leo?
