Down to two boy names...Leo or Julian?

Leo!!!!

We know a Leo and a Julian. We don't worry about Leo, but we do worry about Julian having to go through life with such a prissy name.

It's classic (not an Aiden) but not super popular (like a Michael). It works for a baby, a kid, and an adult. It has nicknames (Jay, J, J + middle name initial, Jude). Anyway, obviously I'm partial to Julian.

Someone typed my post for me!

Leo for sure. Julian is going to be tough in elementary school.

I go right to Julie from Julian//maybe because my sister is Julie. Also Hudson and Julian have similar ending. Hudson and Leo sound better together.

Wait until you meet him and decide if he looks more like a Julian or a Leo. Personally I like Julian better.

Leo! Also like Jude for thought.

Julian.

In theory I prefer Julian, but since it will is very prone to teasing it's tough to give a child that name because you don't know how confident or sensitive he will be. Leo is definitely the safer choice.

7:18 here - or maybe you should disregard my opinion because I clearly have no grasp of the English language.

I like Leo better with Hudson... personally I prefer Theo / Theodore over Leo, though.

Huh. I never thought of Julian as a prissy name. Why? Because it's similar to Julia or Julie? I always think of Hey Jude for John Lennon's son or now, Julian Assange, who, whatever you think about what he's doing, doesn't seem prissy to me.
