My name is Leonardo im 39. As a kid it was misspelled and mispronounced. Everyone thought it was Leonard and the last "o" was a mistake. However, I thought it was unique and i was always the only one, so this is how i saw myself. Even with the Ninja Turtle craze and the rise of Dicaprio; it is still rare.. One other thing, people always ask how did i get my name and why. I think this is cool.
I absolutly love this name!!! i've never met anyone with the name Leonardo in my life! There may have been some influence on me because my favorite artist is Leonardo Da Vinci but I still love it!
This was my great-grandfather's name as well as my father, myself and my son!
