Can you please tell me what you think of each of these nicknames, and which one you would choose?
Leo
Leon
Leony
It's pretty obvious that they're nicknames for Leonardo. What do you think of each, and which one would you choose as your favorite from the list? Thanks in advance!

-- Leonardo: Handsome & not very commonly used name. I love how it sounds. 8/10
-- Leony: It's interesting, but not my taste. It reminds me of the German feminine name "Leonie". 4/10
-- Leon: Handsome & older sounding. If you're going for an "older, classic feel" then I would suggest Leon. 9/10
-- Leo: Handsome, a bit more modern feel, but still classic. I love this one the best. This one is my favorite & the one I would use personally. 9/10

Leo, simple and sweet sounding
Leon, this is my favourite, sophisticated yet sweet
Leony, I don't really like this one, sounds like the female name Leonie
As for the name Leonardo very handsome, flows and ages well
If these nicknames are for your child though, I think that at the end of the day their nickname should be their choice.

I would use Leo, its cute, friendly but masculine and interesting. Leon is a good one too, I like it, but this is used as a full name and I think of it as such. I'm sure people are called Leo but it sounds more like a nickname to me. Leony is not accessible as a nickname, it's just a little clunky. Leo is far better than Leony.

I hate them because I was raped by a guy with the name Leo. But Leon is really cute.

I like Leo and Leon best, and I'd choose Leon.
