Does it flow well to you?

Leonardo Nicholas Zamorano

Or maybe another spelling... Suggestions?

I think it flows well altogether, but I'm not sure I like the flow of just Leonardo Zamorano (which will be the name called out on the first day of school, and when he's giving his name for everything from bar tabs to credit card applications as an adult). It's just a lot of vowels, and I don't love the two "o" endings.

But I think Leonardo is a great name, and I like it with Nicholas, so I'm not against it. Just make sure you've considered how it sounds without the middle name, too.

Nice! Keep the spelling as is.

ETA: From the last name I'm guessing OP's son will have Italian heritage that she wants reflected in the name, so I don't mind the similar endings.

This is exactly how I feel about it.

Me too. The two names are the same # of syllables, have the same pattern of stressed/unstressed syllables, and both end in the same sound. It will certainly stand out. Not necessarily in a bad way, but it'll be noticeable. What about Leonard?
