What Name?

Deciding a name for a child is thought intensive work. I fully believe that whatever name you give your child will shape them into that meaning. I also want to be somewhat unique and exciting. I didn't know any other person named Leonard growing up. Yeah there were some famous people, but no one that I knew personally. What name can we give our son that meets these simple requirements?

Margaret's favorite was Albert, but I'm not so hot for it. I haven't known any exciting or interesting Alberts. I have suggested Tekklo. It's a masculinization of a not uncommon Swedish name, Tekla, meaning gift/glory of God. I like it. Tek is a nice abbreviation that is very short (another important consideration because our last name is sooo long).

Estimated Time of Birth: 3 months, 3 weeks, 1 day

Frankly, everyone to whom I mentioned "Albert" as a possibility didn't immediately jump for joy so they all thought it was plain too. Tekklo would give a much better "wow! that's a cool name" response.

Gigi:

Crown Prince Albert- Queen Victoria's Mate,besides Maggie looks like her. Your child of course born under the sign of Leo, royalty "Sun King". Think of more regal names for this kid.
