Re: Leonardo.. usable?
in reply to a message by Bex
1. It does found very Italian, to the point where I would not use it myself. I'd use Leo, Leopold, or Leon (most likely Leon). My background is almost exclusively British Isles.
2. Rufus Leonardo Stewart Arnold sounds okay to me.
3. Caspian Leonardo Stewart is my favourite by far.
4. Maybe, but only if you told people that's why you did it. (It would also depend on the character and how "serious" the show is considered in general, but I'd just neglect to tell people that's why I chose the name.) Leonardo is also quite strongly associated with Leonardo da Vinci, who predates the turtle by quite a few centuries.
