I used to think it 'had' to be a nn for Leonard, Leonardo, etc. But now I see it like Sam, Jack, or Max--as a name in its own right, albeit a short one. :b I like Leo, btw.

I really like it and I think it works just fine as a full name. It's strong enough to stand alone.

I don't think Leo sounds nnish at all. I like Leo.

I personally prefer Leopold, but Leo is a name in its own right, and a very nice one too. Leona for a girl is also one of my favorites.

I prefer Leon, but Leo is still a nice name.

I like it. I didn't like it before my cousin and her husband used it as a middle name for this son, Angus Leo, but it's grown on me since I started hearing it more from them. :-)

I love Leo?

And why would it be nicknamish, Leo is a formal name in itself?

I think of the Russian author Leo Tolstoy (I think the Russian name is Lev, but it always says Leo Tolstoy.

No. It's not nn-ish to me at all. I'm used to it as a pope's name and it's hard to think of them as informal. Of course the zodiac sign also comes to mind, but I don't associate that with a personal name. (I hope that made sense.)

I really like it as a fn. Have you thought about mns? Leo Thomas sounds nice to me.
