I find it hideous with the ending, which also makes it hopelessly old-fashioned and rather elitist or pretentious-sounding.-- slight night shiver 4/27/2008
The German pronunciation is LE-o-pawlt. [noted -ed]-- mafiosa 8/7/2009
Also a boys name in Croatia, more popular since the middle 1990s.-- goricar 2/1/2010
Leopold II - Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire (1747-1792), son of Maria Theresa of Austria and older brother of Marie Antoinette of France.-- CarolinW 3/18/2010
A sort-of famous bearer of this name is the character Leopold Reynolds from Agatha Christie's Poirot novel, Hallowe'en Party (1969, but set in the 1930's). And the character gets murdered... But apart from this, I think it's really quite a nice name, and Leo is a great nickname. :)-- walesgal92 10/30/2010
I absolutely adore this name; it's sophisticated and strong sounding, but not too over-bearing, not too mention it has great nicknames (Leo or Poldie). And in response to the previous commenter, what's so bad about sounding upper-class? We need less 'Hunter's and 'Skylar's in this world!-- Anonymous User 7/10/2011
