This name is fantastic. It's masculine but slightly tender. It's a simple and cute name. I've wanted to be called this since I was seven years old, when I asked my mom why she didn't name me that. At the time I didn't know what transgender meant or that I could ever be Leo. But now that's who I am.

I like the name, it is very beautiful, it makes the name feel strong and adventurous. That´s why I´m naming my kitten Leo! I love the name. I don´t get why some of you don´t like it.

This isn't really a 'famous bearer' of the name Leo, but I've heard the name from a book called Stargirl, from a new show on Netflix called Legend of Quest: Monsters of Myth, and from a few other places. I have always liked the name and my best friend is named Leo.

Leo is my boyfriend's name. I really like it, it's short and sweet and I think it sounds good with my name, which is a little longer and more fancy. Another good thing about Leo is that it's so short (almost a shortening in and of itself) so nobody can turn it into something annoying, which people do a lot with my name. My boyfriend is very small so we have an inside joke that his name is short for "Napoleon".

I think Leo is a great name. It's very short, but manages to contain a lot of strength and character with only three letters. The meaning "lion" is cool too. Personally, I like the combo Leo Alexander.

In 2018, 2 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Leo* who is registered male with the Social Security Administration. It is the 533rd most common male first name for living U.S. citizens.

*as a first name, not a nickname.

I like it, but unfortunately it is used too much as a nickname for names that start with Leo-.
A lot of people would think it's short for something else.

I love the name Leo. I think it’s very interesting and a strong boys name for being only 3 letters long. I also love the zodiac reference! It is also a family name to me personally which makes me love it even more! I love the nickname Lee.

It's a nice name, but I would prefer this to be a nickname for a name like Leonard, Leonardo, or Leon.
I like names that have cool or interesting nicknames that you can use if you would prefer.
With a name like Leonardo, you have a cool name you can use, as well as a cool nickname to use.

I really like this name. It's short enough to be easy to say, but not boring, and whenever you can put two vowels next to each other without it looking like the word Gaelic, that's a good thing.

Leo Sirota was a Jewish pianist born in Kamianets-Podilskyi, Podolskaya Guberniya, Russian Empire, now Ukraine. Leo Sirota began studying piano at the age of five. By the age of nine he was already giving concerts and came to the attention of Paderewski, who invited the boy to study with him. Sirota's parents, however, felt he was too young, and so he attended the conservatories in Kiev and, later, Saint Petersburg. However, in 1904 he went to Vienna to study with Ferruccio Busoni. He worked as rehearsal pianist with the conductor Jascha Horenstein, whose sister, Augustine Horenstein, he married. Sirota's Vienna debut concert must have been a memorable occasion: it comprised the Mozart sonata for two pianos with Busoni playing the other piano, followed by the Busoni Piano Concerto, with Busoni conducting, and ended with the two piano version of the Liszt Don Juan Fantasy. Sirota and his family settled in Japan in 1929, staying there for 16 years, teaching and giving recitals. He was a piano teacher of Minoru Matsuya (1910–1995) and Takahiro Sonoda (1928-2004). While in Japan, he championed Yamaha pianos against the prevailing fashion in Japan for Bechstein and Steinway instruments.

This is such a cool name; timeless, too! It'd be really cool to give this name to a son born under the Leo zodiac.
... Though in this day and age, with all the little Liams running around, you'd have to put extra emphasis on the 'o' when calling for your kid on the playground.

I am warming up to the name Leo. Before falling asleep last night, I thought it would be such a cute little family of mine to have a little daughter Anna, and a baby Leo. So I like that combination now! And when I woke up, it occurred to me Leo Tolstoy wrote 'Anna Karenina'. Still, Anna and Leo make a cute sibset!

I'm bringing Leo back for a girl. I'm kidding! But it's kind of awesome, even late 19th and early 20th Century Americans used male names for females. Our generation didn't start it.

I don't care for this name. I prefer Leon. It's too common and people seem to think of it as a nickname, when in fact it's a given name. If you like it that much, just use Leo on its own.

I also like Leo as a girls' name - like, for instance, as a short form of Leona or Leonie. I think it would suit a brave, strong, determined girl just as much as it would suit a boy.
