I enjoy both, primarily as middle names, but I'd have to give the edge to Leonidas due to sound and association. I've actually got an Archibald Leonidas among my late kin. I think Leopold might be generally considered more usable. Don't think I've tried pairing either one as first names; please forgive any repeats...

I like both, but Leopold is more fun, more quirky and, if it's possible, also far more down-to-earth / less frilly.
Leopold.

I truthfully love both, these are my favorite male Leo names. I was pondering just two nights ago which I preferred and I came to the conclusion that I slightly prefer Leonidas, which is not surprising since I like so many names that end in -as or -us., I find the sound to be strong and manly but also refined and regal.
Leopold is definitely a cool name, I don't know of many names that end in -pold or -old, Leopold also sounds strong and manly and refined and regal. As much as Leopold seems more unique I such slightly prefer the ending sound of Leonidas.
