I am not Italian but in
America people get named things like
Fox or
Wolf or Hawk or
Lark or
Rain or
River or
Rowan. Most people here assume you are probably a hippie or an environmentalist or something along those lines. As someone who doesn't view it as a negative to be thought of in that manner I would have no problems with using any of those names. I don't know if in Italy there would be that same stereotype.
If it was me choosing I'd definitely choose
Leone. I much prefer the sound and the fact that it has more substance than
Leo. Plus
Leo almost as much means lion as
Leone. People in Italy will probably automatically connect
Leo with lions anyway so in that regard there isn't much difference. You shuld just go with the one you prefer.
