I can't believe no one has mentioned the Star Trek connections here. Firstly Leonard Nemoy (or Nimoy can't remeber the spelling) played Spock. Secondly, Deforest Kelley's character Bones's (Dr. McCoy) first name was Leonard. And now for my opinion. This name is the epitome of cool.-- YMPvt 3/17/2007
This is a very ugly name that would only fit an old man. Leonard Bernstein (1918-1989), arguably the best American composer, was originally named Lewis, but he had his name changed to Leonard when he was in his teens.-- Rama 6/15/2007
I always thought this name was pronounced LEE-o-nard. And I have never heard it pronounced Len-nard until this year at school. (my new friend's name is Leonard.) Oh, wel, I guess it doesn't really matter, Because I call him Lenny anyway!-- Anonymous User 9/15/2007
Lynyrd Skynyrd is a Southern rock band most famous for their work throughout the 1970's. They composed the notorious anthems "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird". Allegedly, the band was named after the gym teacher of some of the members, named Leonard Skinner.-- trayc53 9/23/2007
I have no idea why but whenever I hear the name Leonard I burst out laughing. I know several other people that find this name oddly hysterical, so I would think twice before using it.-- pandasayscynical 12/23/2007

I researched it through German and Italian etymologists, "Lewenhart" is the origin. "Lewen" as an old form of Lion derived from Greek; and hart not meaning hard but cruel or hardy. Providing the idea of unmeasurable strength to the newborn as possessing a lion's hardiness.-- Mingan 12/15/2008
When I grow up, if I have a little boy I will name him Lynyrd. I think it would be cute. I personally dislike the name Leonard, but I like the spelling of Lynyrd after the band Lynyrd Skynyrd. I am from Mississippi, and Lynyrd Skynryd was a Southern Rock band, and I don't know anyone that doesn't know Sweet Home Alabama by heart. That's why I plan on naming my little boy (if I even have a boy) Lynyrd when I grow up.-- Anonymous User 2/23/2009
I absolutely LOATHE the English pronunciation of this name. The name looks so nice, but when you hear someone say it I personally think it ruins it for me.-- Shibbeh 5/9/2009
Dr. Leonard Hofstadter is a character on Big Bang Theory.-- Anonymous User 9/24/2009
Also an Irish surname. I admit the sound isn't the nicest, but as a surname, it works with most names. The people I've met with this surname, including my fiance, are the most incredible people I've ever met. They've battled though everything. Truly amazing people. Stupidly strong, they survive through everything where other people would give up. They deserve the meaning of their surname. Strong? It will never cover it. Truly AMAZING people. My impression of Leonard as a surname is immense. I'd be proud to pass this surname onto my children.
As for as a name. It's not terrible. It's not trendy, but it has a certain beauty, doesn't it? You cannot deny its strength.-- neonturnip 10/5/2009
I quite like this name. I would prefer it to be pronounced leo-nard than lennard, and I totally hate the nickname Lenny, but I do like the nickname Leo. :)-- walesgal92 11/14/2009
