By adding an O to the blunt Leonard, we turn Leonardo into a sensitive yet powerful soul. Clearly this is a dramatic name with a potential for greatness. From Leonardo da Vinci, who is widely hailed as one of the most brilliant minds and artists of the Renaissance, to Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio, there is much talent at work here. Da Vinci was also the real-life inspiration for Leonardo, the skilled, disciplined leader of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
