[Opinions] Jolyon, Evander, Leonin
Trying to find three syllable names to go with Romilly, Margot, August. Thoughts? Leonin is a play on leonine, I haven't checked if it's ever been used as a name. Much obliged!

I like Evander. Leonin is too close to Lenin, I think. I prefer Leolin.

Can't say I love Jolyon. Besides. August and a July-related name is a bit themey for my tastes. :)You can't go wrong with Evander. It's very handsome and I'm surprised it's not used more often in real life.Leonin is really cool. That's my favorite of the three for sure.I've never been good at finding names to "go with" other names I like. It just sorta happens over time.

I love Jolyon! Evander is also nice. I prefer Leolin to Leonin.

I found two Leonins and several Leonines in the UK BMDs: hasn't been used at all recently, but I don't see why not. The only problem I can see with it is that people might see the first part as like Leonard, and pronounce it Lenin. I like Jolyon - I would have been one, if I'd been a boy. Evander is nms, but it works in the set.

I think they'd all fit perfectly fine. I like Jolyon, not a big fan of Evander. Mostly I wanted to say that I really like Leonin! And I don't tend to like Leo names. It's a good creation!
