I think Orlando is a really nice name. It's got an undeniably cool ring to it. When I hear the name, I think of summer and the ocean. I love it.
Also, I think it would be beautiful to give someone this name in honor of the Orlando shooting victims ♥️

In the Orlando Innamorato, Orlando falls in love with the beautiful Angelica and starts going after her, and in the Orlando Furioso, he becomes crazy after he discovers she loves another man.

I think Orlando is a very sexy name! It's brilliant how it's Italian and I love that there was a character with this name in a Shakespeare play! Moreover, Orlando Bloom is a fantastic namesake! I'm tempted to use this name for a future son! (♥ó㉨ò)ﾉ♡.

This name reminds me of SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida. I've wanted to go there since I was four, and haven't. So it seems an oceanic name to me even though it's the word "land" between two O's.

I don't like place names on people. Everyone will associate the name with the place, and Orlando is known for its bad taste and hideous singers, right? Besides, the nickname Orly is hideous.

Orlando is one of my top favorite boy's names. When I think about this name I envision a gracious young man with strong family values. Someone who is also is very charming and enthusiastic. A lovely name in general. If I had any distaste for this name in the least is that it's the name of a city in Florida. I live in Florida so it's a little strange. Nevertheless, I would still use this name despite that. Oh, and yes Orlando Bloom definitely makes this name 100 times cooler. =)
