It would work; I just don't like it, personally. First, b/c it's the surname of a guy I dated in high school, and secondly, it's the fn of one of my DH's great-uncles. Therefore, my associations are that of surname & dated name (the other sibs are Harold, Elmer & Herman).

I adore the name Leland, and I think it works fine with Deacon, although Deacons isn't my style.

I don't like Leland at all. It's the "land" bit, making it impossible as a personal name to me. "Land" is soil and grass, not a human being. It would work fine with Deacon.

I really love Leland. I always wondered why moms do not pick this beautiful name for their sons, but I can't complain, because Lachlan won.

I like Leland but Deacon is nms. They would work decently as sibling names though.

Its okay

I like it a lot, mostly because I used to babysit the sweetest little boy named Leland. Deacon is not a favourite, but I think it would work really well with Leland.
