You’ve been prepping your “Everything the light touches is our kingdom,” speech for a while now. But have you decided on a name for your future Leo? Since Simba’s out of the question (Right? Right), here are 12 that will fit your lion cub to a T.
12 Leo Baby Names for Your Little Lion Cub

It means “lion of God” in Hebrew, but for some reason The Little Mermaid feels more on point.
Corley
Meaning “bighearted,” just like your warm and cuddly Leo.
Hiro
The Japanese moniker means “generous”—ah, look at him share his Hatchimals.
Ovelle
It means “filled with enthusiasm,” and we’re guessing by the way your cubby gets into Daniel Tiger, she has boatloads of it.
Chase
The fearless hunter…of graham crackers.
Bertie
There’s no denying your kid is destined for stardom, so land him a commercial agent already. (This name means, appropriately, “famous.”)
Rory
The greatest gift you can give your child is a go-to karaoke song. (Katy Perry’s “Roar,” of course.)
Elio
This fire sign’s ruling planet is the sun, and that’s what this name means in Italian—written in the stars, amiright?
Summer
For the season she was born to rule.
Regina
The queen of the cafeteria; just teach her she can wear pink on days beyond Wednesday.
Malik
Meaning “king” in Arabic languages—so make sure he shares the slide.
Leo
Because, well, duh.
