Baby Boy #2

So, I'm not sure if the rest of you have talked about this or not on here when it's happened with you(to those it has applied to at least). But I'm going to be the father of a 2nd son this next year! The due date is May 1st(less than 2 weeks after the due date of my first son). Just found out the gender and that everything looks fine on the ultrasound yesterday.

One of the names(and actually a strong contender) going between my wife and I is "Leonardo." Despite being the name of a character in a certain franchise, it actually is a pretty good name I think. It is an Italian name(I'm 1/4) and there are some fairly good role models that share it. The meaning is also pretty cool too "brave as a lion". Also have a decent amount of Leo's on my wife's side of the family, as well as a Leona.

Congratulations !!
I have two children myself. What's the name of your first child ?
Just curious how well the names would mesh .

Thanks! His name is Erik. Partly influenced by his Danish heritage.

Would you just call him Leo ?
I mean I honestly dig the name.

We probably would for the most part(at least my wife would). When we first talked about this, she much prefered Leo. But considering that Leo is the unofficial shortening of Leonardo she is basically becoming more alright with it. Leonardo would reflect my Italian heritage, while Leo would reflect her Scandinavian as well as some family members.

Congrats, and Leonardo is a pretty common name. Just think of the famous actor, Leonardo Dicaprio, and so forth. You'll probably wind up calling him "Leo" most of the time anyway for short.
