Llewelyn

I love this name. I detest Lew as a nn, and with a name like Llewelyn there's almost a necessity for a nn. I've been trying to find a reasonable longer name so I could use Leo as a nn, but I dislike Leonard, Leonardo, Leovin, and those other Leo- names listed. Could it work? Can you get Leo from Llewelyn?

I love the name Llwewelyn. Leo could work as a nn, I prefer Leo as a first name actually.

Leo can work if you want it to, all nick names are not so obvious. I really like Llewelyn on its own though.
I guess I would call him Wel or Welyn.

Llewellyn is one of my favorite names! It's nice to find someone else who loves it, as it doesn't seem to be mentioned very often. Using Leo as a nn is a great idea, and I think it works very well, though I still prefer Llewellyn with no nn at all.

Leo would probably work. You could even use Ely the same pronunciation as Eli...

This is an interesting dilema! :)
I've liked the name Llewelyn for a while, it's rather strong and heroic sounding. I guess Leo would work okay. You could also use Wel, El, Ely, or Lyn as a nickname.
