Leo!

I like the sound of it a lot more, and i feel like it’s a good name regardless of age. Theo I have a soft spot for but only as a female nickname for Theodora or Theodosia.

Leo, mostly because I prefer Leo names over Theo names, Leonidas > Theodosius. But Theo feels fresher.

Leo!

Leo is one of my favs, it's short, has lovely sound and ends in trendy -o ;)
Theo's way better when it's pronounced TEH-o.

Leo, as I just prefer the sound of it. I enjoy the meaning of lion too, but Theo also has a great meaning.

I don't love lions, and I get more of a kitsch / pop culture vibe from Leo; it also seems more rambunctious. I don't dislike it, though.

It just sounds better as a full name than Leo. I also can't shake the stoner vibe on Leo; still a good name tho.

Theo

I love both but Theo has more of a classic appeal imo

Plus I heavily prefer Theodore over Leonard/o

Leo...

because nicknames as first names is a big pet peeve of mine. Love Theodore though, and that trumps Leo any day.

I prefer Theo. Leo just makes me think "Lion" immediately and I don't know. Feels less like a name if that makes any sense? However, Leo is a family name and I do like it.

Leo

In my opinion it’s a lot more handsome and cool. I don’t care much for Theodore or Theo. It’s classy though, I’ll give it that.
