Reply Kimberly Oct 15 at 12:55 pm His dad picked the first name i chose the middle names cause i picked the first name of our first born Reply Amber Sep 24 at 12:28 pm I chose Leon because it’s one of my favorite characters in a game ?. Also it’s a name I rarely hear. Reply Karesia Oblitey Jun 4 at 11:38 pm Leon was my grandfather’s name and I loved him a lot! It was only fitting that I give my son that name. Reply Karesia Apr 25 at 3:47 am I chose the name Leon for my son because it was my grandfather’s name. I loved him very much and felt it was the perfect name for my son. The name itself means lion and it fits my son perfectly, my son was born @25 weeks and fought his way through and out of the NICU. He is a strong little boy. Reply COURTNEY Apr 22 at 2:52 pm My husband shared with me shortly after finding out about our pregnancy he secretly hoped we were having twins. Since he was a kid he thought it would be super cool to have b/g twins named Leon and Noel (Noelle). The first time he suggested it, I had my heart set on something very different, (Asher), but after hearing Leon for a second time I fell in love. When sharing our son’s name with friends and family we did receive some criticism. Some referred to it as “an old man’s name.” While it took some time for some people to come around, everyone now loves the name.
