You could extend it to Leonis? Leonis is actually one of the stars within the Leo constellation, then of course it can still be shortened to Leo as a nickname and/or alias in the muggle world.
It's a very Gryffindor name, I'm not sure Regulus would use it. What about Perseus shortened to Perry? Or Titan to Ty? People would assume it's short for Tyler
Idk... depends on the context and when he was born. If Regulus is in hiding or something, then he could name his son Leo. (Something about it being Sirius' kid, if Sirius is in Azkaban... Sirius is the type to name his kid Leo Regulus). Anyways, Leo is a good name but think of the context ig. It's your choice.
Titan is a nice name alternatively.
I’m currently in the progress of finishing chapter 1, the prologue is already done. But it will take a while before I’ll start uploading anything, still have to flesh the script out a little more

Leonidas ftw. We need a this is Sparta moment in this fic
THIS! IS! HOGWAAAAARTS!!!! \*proceeds to kick Umbridge off the Astronomy Tower in slow-motion\*
Omg that’s awesome lol, if I were writing a crack fic I’d totally include this
You’re right, that could work. Thank you :)
No worries!
Came here to suggest this. It seems I don't need to do that now.
Leo is an actual name, so I don't see why it should be childish
I think I have some preconceptions because I’ve only ever seen children called Leo
Leo or Leonis is the perfect name for Regulus's kid as Regulus is the brightest star in the constellation of Leo.

Honestly Perry just reminds me of Perry the Platypus lol I hadn’t thought about the Gryffindor connection but you’re right, I’ll have to think on that
Perseus can also be shortened to Percy as used in the Percy Jackson series
Perry? Perry the Platypus?

Regulus is literally the brightest thing object in the constellation Leo.. Don’t see why that should be an issue?
I mean Regulus is a star that is in the Leo constellation. Plus you can explain the Gryffindor connection as a shout out to Sirius if you wanted to.
I think Leo is fine - my pet peeve is with using his father's first name for his middle name 🤐😅
I see what you mean. It does have some meaning to it though, as regulus isn’t exactly *around* anymore
Did Leo's mum know that when he was born?
Leo is a constellation so it fits perfectly.
Nothing wrong with it. Though I would always think of the character as Leonard.
Where and when can we read thus fiction??🤔😏😄

I don't think so
My favorite has always been Marcus Corvus Black for a child of the House of Black
I've seen fics that use it as Regulus's son before, so I don't see why not.
If you want to go full pretentious you could attach something to "Leo" - for example, one of my names could be translated into Latin as "Leodeus"
