Leopold

Love the name Leopold it would be so cute on a young boy and grand and stately on an older gentleman.

My grandfather was named Leopold. He changed it to Leo Paul, which is much better.

I think the name is very handsome, sophisticated/upperclass, and masculine. Not very common in North America, but I think it would work well. Definitely has a classy European flair to it. The nickname of "Leo" is great as well.

I think Leopold is a majestic name that appears both regal and professional. Another factor that really contributes to the visual allure from such a name is that it is not very common. Which, from one’s perspective, is a good note to take into account.

In my experience, the best guys are named Leopold. They're attractive, talented, kind, loving, and overall great people. I love the name because of the people I've known who have it. I think the meaning is very nice too, and fits many of the Leopolds I've met and known. :)

What a wonderful name. Makes me think of someone who is very handsome!

Shame this name is tainted with King Leopold II. Still a great name though.

I really love this name, it was the name of one of queen Victoria’s more handsome sons who died tragically young. And it also has lots of cute nickname opportunities Leo and Poldie are the obvious ones but you could also use Polder too for a more modern energy.
I absolutely love the regal 19th century Victorian vibe the name Leopold brings with it it would sound so cute on a little blonde toddler in a smart mock sailor uniform like they used to dress their children in 100 years ago.

Classic name. I like the spelling Léopold too.

This sophisticated and elegant name is still being used in many countries around the world today. I have friends who named their little boy Leopold, and I actually think it works well for a child.

Not even considered in naming any boys. A big no no nowadays.

I love the name! It sounds unique, beautiful, and elegant. Leo is a cute, trendy nickname that a person could easily use if they prefer.

Responding to a previous comment, I think it would be a shame not to use the name because of a king. More commonly used names including Henry, Louis, and William are also names of kings who did horrible things. All names are attached to both bad and good people.

The first associations that I have with the name are the movie "Kate and Leopold," and the poet Léopold Sédar Senghor.

King Leopold II of Belgium who ruled Congo with cruelty is my first thought.

It is a pity because my second link is the movie 'Kate & Leopold' where Hugh Jackman plays the role of a fascinating and romantic nobleman.

So this name is strongly linked with aristocracy but unfortunately the real-life link is stronger than the fictional one.

I love the name Leopold. It's a really strong sounding name and has a fresh Germanic sound to it and has the cute nickname of Leo too :-)

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!

I find it hideous with the ending, which also makes it hopelessly old-fashioned and rather elitist or pretentious-sounding.

A fabulous name for a garden gnome.
