"What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet." Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2) However, choosing a name for a baby seems quite a big deal. Majka and I, luckily, had a favourite name from the get-go. It's Leon (accent on the open e - Leh-on). We still say this could change - however we started talking to the baby (well, to the belly) using this name already, and I doubt we'll change our mind. It is a short name (we like short names), easy to write and pronounce either in French, Italian or Polish. It is a string name: it means lion in Spanish, and apparently in germanic countries it has an origin meaning "thunder". So, Leon it will probably be. Accepted variations: Leo, Leonek, Leon with an accent on the o (only for francophones who can't help it!). |
