Leo and Max...Leo and Max are the two lead names in the movie/musical The Producers. Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom.

LINUS!!Everyone thinks Linus is not attractive. Well, in my opinion, Leo is one of the most popular names I am actually disqusted with. Its better than a longer version, but it has no appeal whatsoever. Linus, on the other hand, I think is really cute. Its different, and not at all popular, which is a huge plus. The only downside is if you do not want people thinking of Linus from the Peanuts, which will forever be around. When I think of Leo, I think of a little boy, about 3-6. When I hear Linus, I think it has the cute-ness for a little toddler, a teenager and a man. I dont see that with Leo.

I don't care for Linus or Leo, but I prefer Leo as a nickname of Leonardo. Linus rhymes too much with sinus, and I think it's a weak name, and I just think the name Leonardo is frivolous. If I had to choose between the two, then Leo. I don't care for Max (I prefer it as a nickname, but I don't care for any of the Max- names), Rupert, Michaela, or Leila. Daisy is OK, but not my favorite name, and I only like it as a middle name.

I like Linus and Leo, but I like Linus just a tiny bit more. I like Max but prefer it as a nn for Maxwell or Maximilian. Rupert is great, but if you're not British, it would take guts to name your kid this imo.I like Daisy for a girl but it seems like more of a nn in my opinion (I've seen it used as a nn for Margaret before, but I'm not sure how "proper" that is, lol). Leila is a name I've recently come to love, and I like it best on your list. The way I pronounce it is like LEE-lah. Michaela is so pretty but overused and constantly misspelled and butchered these days so I'd stay away from it.

Well, Leo is better with Max, Linus sounds nicer with Rupert. I like all the four :-)Leila and Daisy are also nice, but I can't like Michaela.

I love Linus! Leo is nice as a nn for Leopold, but it's just not as attractive on its own. I think Linus, Rupert, and Leila fit together very well.

Depends on what you're going for. Between the two, the sound appeal for me is Leo. It does seem unfinished to me though and just general cute names I like Linus better. So it's a draw. For your others though, I prefer Leo...
