I've loved
Linus ever since I was a child. The Peanuts character was my favorite so I had a soft spot for it. As I grew I began to see the intellectual side of
Linus, thanks to Dr.
Linus Pauling. Overall, the name sparkles with life and joy.
Lionel is a new love. I've been into Arthurian names for quite a while. But it took "The
King's Speech" to make me fall in love with the name
Lionel. Now I'm hooked.
Interestingly, they both combine well with my #1 name for a boy:
Peter. I can't decide if I like
Linus Peter or
Lionel Peter better. Others you might like:

Actually, a lot of these mix and match. I hope you like one or two. :-D
