I have two boys already named Erick and Alexander. What do you think of Emilio for our 3rd if he is a boy? We would be planning on a nickname being Leo which is my husband's father's name. His father's full name is Leopoldo but I can't stand it. And I don't like any other Leo-variations. But I thought it would be nice to honor his father in a way and I love the name Emilio. I just don't know if everyone else thinks its weird cuz I don't want him to get made fun-of. My husband is Mexican and I'm white. Also if we were to go with that for a first name how do you think it should be spelled--- Emilio (traditional) or Emileo (so nickname would actually be included in the name) Any thoughts would be helpful. Even if you hate it!

I like it i have a friend namedemilio

I think since you are going to go with the nickname, to do Emileo.

with the spanish pronounciation though it would be pronounced (Em-ee-lay-o)...it wouldn't sound like LEO(lee-oh) anymore.

Amileo / Emilieo / Emilio with the nickname Leo is really cute

Oh yeah... I didn't think about that.. What about the spelling Lio for a nickname then? Does that look weird? It's all so tough!
