I have given
Leo much thought recently. Mostly because my 35 year old brother's name was
Leonardo (but went with
Leonard). Growing up I cringed everytime I said his name as I would invariablely get a giggle. We called him
Leo at home but never took that nickname outside of the house- it was just too uncool.
Len was the best we could do for my surfing aussie brother with a proponderous Italian name.
..but this was way before
Leonardo Dicaprio and way before 'o' became cool.
Needless to say, I love
Leo, I always have.
