Leonard
So, I'm kinda crushing on Leonard lately. I just think it's old-fashioned, dignified, and handsome, in a very subtle way. I also dig the NN Leo.
WDYT?

I like it. I think it's handsome.
I pronounce it LEH-oo-nard, not LEN-ard.

Sorry, I'm not a fan of Leonard, but I love Leo on it's own.
I love Leonard. I was pretty happy when it on the short list of boy's name my husband's cousin had (along with Stanley and Frank). I was rooting for Leonard, nn Lenny. In the end they had a daughter - Aoife.
Len is a good nn too. I like Leo but in it's own right not as a nn. I think it was Leonard from Big Bang Theory that turned me on to the name.

Leonard's too nerdy for me. I'd prefer plain old Leo.
Do you say it like Le-o-nard or Lenn-ard? When I read it, I think Le-o-nard and I like it, but when I hear it it's always Lenn-ard and I don't like it as much. I like the idea of Leonard nn Leo though.
LEN-ard.
