Help[Opinions] Re: Leopold?
in reply to a message by -Violetta Lavender-
Why do historic, meaningful names get accused of being pretentious? I don't get that. I'm not picking on you in particular. It's just a general tendency that irks me. If a little Leopold finds the name unweildy, he can go by Leo. Easy.
I love Leopold. I remember first hearing it as a child watching Bugs Bunny cartoons. They were doing a riff on Leopold Stokowski (sp?), the famous conductor. The musicians were terrified of him, whispering amoungst themselves, "Leopold! It's Leopold! Leopold!" Very comic. So I have only happy associations with it.
