Cary Grant plays Leopold Dilg in ‘The Talk of the Town’ (1942). It’s a great Classic Hollywood film and I loved Grant's character. There’s a quote from the movie where Grant is frustrated at the lead girl: “Stop saying Leopold like that, tenderly. It sounds funny. You can’t do it with a name like Leopold.” Maybe he’s right but I still love the name Leopold and if I ever have a son named this I’ll show him this movie :D.

Aldo Leopold was a concervationist and ecologist who helped develop modern environmental ethics.
A sort-of famous bearer of this name is the character Leopold Reynolds from Agatha Christie's Poirot novel, Hallowe'en Party (1969, but set in the 1930's). And the character gets murdered... But apart from this, I think it's really quite a nice name, and Leo is a great nickname. :)
Leopold Bloom is also the name of Matthew Broderick's character in the musical "The Producers". More often, he is referred to as "Bloom" or "Leo".

Leopold "Butters" Stotch is one of the main supporting characters in later South Park seasons. However, his first name is rarely mentioned, and he almost always goes by "Butters".
