Yesterday, I met a little girl named Lion, which I later found out was a nickname for Leona. I don't know that I'd use it personally, but i think it's kind of cute.

So share your favourite 'animal inspired' names.

Friends of my family have a daughter named Nittany and a little boy named Lion. (Definitely aren't favorites of mine, but this made me think of them!)

Wolf, by itself or a nickname for Wolfgang. Or Wolfy.

Lots of lion names possible: Leona, Lionel, Leo, etc...

We named our oldest son "Todd", but his nickname has always been "Fox" since that's what his name means. Figure it's a nice compromise between a "normal" name and a slightly strange one. He gets the weird nickname and a simple name for when he grows up to go on his resume ;)

I used to think Leona was an "old-lady" name, but it's sounding more and more usable on a little girl as of late. However, I much prefer Leonie.

Hmm, I wonder what school they root for? :)

Oops, sorry! Animal names I like include Delphine, Wren, and Lark.

I have a musty-smelling great-aunt Leona, so it still scans as very old-lady for me!
