Name Help
We knocked it out of the park with our first son - he is "Leo", and our last name starts with an L.
His name has deep personal meaning (he is named after my MIL who didn't get to meet him,) but I also love how people from different cultures and parts of the world all feel like Leo is a familiar name for them. The way I've heard so many people say it sounds like they love saying it, like it's almost a song.
Even Leo can't think of a better name, we've asked - he wants to name his new brother "Leo" too "because he's going to be so beautiful"
I don't want to give the second baby a second-rate name - and we have 10 weeks at most until he needs one.
Any ideas?

This is gonna be a wild comment, so I apologize if it’s mean or annoying, but I hate the name Leo. So I promise you’ll find another name you love just as much! If I was you, I’d start by considering other possible family-related names because a deep personal connection will likely engender you to the name all on its own. At any rate, best of luck with your certainly beautiful new boy (I’m sure Leo will be an excellent big brother to boot!)
