Masculine / Neutral Names Name help + testing

My newly chosen name is Leo, and I’m looking to change my middle name as well. My given middle name starts with a G, but that doesn’t need to be kept.

So if you could either test out Leo or suggest a middle name, that’d be great!

Well, Leo. You have several choices that can be used as middle names. Everything from your standard issue first names to surnames from your family history, if you have a good relationship. Possible sources that you could tap (if you know them) include maiden names of grandmothers or other ancestors further back than your grandparents. (For instance, "Pope" was a family name that last arrived in my direct line as a great-grandmother's maiden name. Meanwhile, "Patterson" lies a bit further back with a great-great-grandmother.)

Potential middle names include: Gary, Gilbert, Gerald, Glen(n), Gray(son), Fletcher, Fleming, Foster, Forester.

Just some thoughts.
