I like it, but fear it may be a bit too associated with the actor. If that doesn't bother you, I say go for it.

It's a pretty ordinary name here in Brazil. I like it - I might even consider it if me and my wife's next child is a boy. Over here the association with Leonardo DiCaprio, while it exists, isn't as strong.

I like it a lot, but it is much too strongly associated with Leonardo DiCaprio to be usable for me. It's hard for me to even think about a middle name because when I hear "Leonardo" I just automatically think "DiCaprio!" I'd smile if I saw it on someone else's baby though!

I’m not big on the “nard” sound in the middle. Plus everybody would assume you named your kid after the actor, despite a long history and better namesakes.. I prefer Leonidas.

I like it and would use it, but then I'm Italian born and bred.

Its okay. I like it a bit more the Leonard, which sounds stuffy to me.
