Even if it is a boy, I doubt they plan to name him Leopold; Konstantin's older brother, Prince Manuel already has a son named Leopold.
 
It wouldn't be the first time royal cousins shared a first name. But likely they will choose a different name.

If they decide to go traditional, perhaps a little Adalbert for a son. Leopold's grandfather's name as well as the name of his brother (and not used by any of Leopold's current grandsons). There is already Leopold, Gabriel, August, Otto and Ferdinand among the grandkids and one granddaughter Alva.
