Hi there.

I would like to wheter there is any difference among the " come to mind, spring to mind,

leap to mind"?

Thank you.

They mean almost the same. But “come to mind” is neutral, whereas “spring to mind” and “leap to mind” have a sense of high speed and suddenness because of the jumping metaphor.
