Sorry I don't think it can work as a name. A Leviathan is a huge whale or sea monster and is sometimes linked to satanism as well. Definitely not good associations.
This popped up in a local BA last month. I personally think it's too much, even for me. Leviathan Willoughby is particular is way too much.
Sea monster
As described in the Book of Job:
'His snorting throws out flashes of light; his eyes are like the rays of dawn.
Firebrands stream from his mouth; sparks of fire shoot out.
Smoke pours from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over a fire of reeds.
His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames dart from his mouth.'
Actually that all sounds quite cool! - but it's also a general term for something large and lumbering, which seems to be given to things like big boats and planes and fictional spaceships, and not so much little boys.

I have a friend who really likes that as a name, but just named her son Levi instead. :) I think it has a cool sound, but wouldn't be a good name. It's a sea monster, and not a good one I'd want to be associated with. But fine for hypothetical fun-ness. I also think it sounds like the name of some sort of steampunk airship, like something from Finaly Fantasy. Maybe it is and I just can't remember correctly.
