Starts with L ends with D

The name Leopold has been stuck in my head for days - it won't go away!  I am not even sure if I like it or not.  Actually I d, but I am not sure how much.
 
Thoughts on Leopold?
 
Middle name suggestions?
 
First name suggestions?

It makes me think of the movie 'Kate & Leopold'. Not a good association - it's a rather annoying movie.

Heh, while I liked the movie, I agree that is the first thing that popped into my head.

Meg Ryan's character is so UNLIKEABLE in that movie. I hate it. And all her botox is super duper obvious!

Ick, yes. I've watched it once (and again because there was nothing else on TV) and I've always found myself wanting to just... throw something at her. =/

Blech.

It's the 'eopo' sound I don't like.

What about just Leo?

Other "lee" sounding boys names: Liam, Lennox, Leonard or just Lee.

I think it is awful. Sorry.
My brother's name is Leo. Just Leo. When we were little my cousins and I would jokingly call him names that were an extension of his actually name. Like Leotard, Leonardo, and, you guessed it, Leopold. I only recently realised that it is actually a name. I always thought it was something my cousins made up for the sake of the joke!
But for the record, my brother is Leo James.

hmm
Leopold James
Leopold Thomas
Leopold Johann (because Leopold sounds Germanic to me)
Leopold Phillip

Ethan Leopold
Matthew Leopold
Evan Leopold
Franklin Leopold
Gideon Leopold

I like it better as a middle name

me too

I think it's a very handsome name, but seems sort of old-fashioned to actually use.
I do think Leo is cute for a nickname, though!

That's a cute name. Is Winston after anyone in particular? Not a name I've heard used EVER, so I was wondering.

It just reminds me too much of street names to actually think of it as a name and not just the road to the city.

WAAAAAAY too pretentious and over the top.
