I was just wondering what people think of the name Lennon for a baby boy? What middle names do you think might make a good combo?

In a recent post here, a woman had a poll including Jonas Lennon. I think that's a very good combination. I prefer Lennon as a middle name.

I like it. But you can't use John or anything Beatle-esque as a middle name.

[rebl1969.livejournal.com]

McCartney.

Really. Is there any other name which goes better than Lennon??

"But you can't use John or anything Beatle-esque as a middle name."

Agreed, that's a bit of a downside. But even so, the name Lennon has managed to get onto my favourites list.

I like it. I know a guy my age named Lennon and he's really cool and a musician; the name suits him.

But what if your kid grows up and hates the Beatles?

In my opinion, it's a little silly. I thought the woman who used it as a middle name did it properly--with class. Since she will be giving the name to the child as a middle name, it's an homage but not a piling of her favorites onto her child, which would seem wrong, but hey. Do what you want to do.

Wouldn't matter in the least. I like them myself, but I'm not a rabid fan. Mostly I just think Lennon makes a cool name is all. :)

I like it. Lennon James comes to mind.

I do like it, but I can't shake its similarity to Lenin.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that reminds me how I used to call the guy I know named Lennon, Lenin.

my friend has a baby boy named Lennon.

i like:
Lennon Michael
Lennon Asher
Lennon Andrew
Lennon Daniel

[mountain-nest.livejournal.com]

agreed!

Not a bad name - unless you hate the Beatles. Just don't name them Lennon John (surname), hehe.

I love, love that name for a boy.
I think I am personally going with it as a middle name (the John Lennon connotation is quite strong...not that that's a bad thing...but it sure is obvious). It's hard to come up with a good middle name, using it as a first name.

I like Lennon, I'd never use it myself but it's a nice name.

Lennon James
Lennon Charles
Lennon Preston
Lennon Jason
Lennon Rich
Lennon Geoff

I totally adore it, have done for years. :)
My combo of choice is Lennon Richard (after my brother).

[kitten-wrangler.livejournal.com]

Lenin was the first thing that came to my mind as well. Which makes me want to suggest names like Vladimir or Ilyich.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

I don't really like it.
I prefer names whose associations are subtle. :)

[godmod.livejournal.com]

I like it for a girl, hah.

I want an Audrey Lennon someday.

[kristinwitha-k.livejournal.com]

This is the exact suggestion I was going to make. I love how Lennon James sounds.

I really like the name Lennon for a boy. I think any classic, simple masculine name would work fine.

Also:
Lennon Thomas
Lennon Michael
Lennon Matthew
Lennon David
Lennon Daniel

I would only use it as a middle name, because it LOOKS good but if I heard it, I would assume "Lenin"... and... what, Stalin? Eurgh.

I work in a school and we've got a little boy (he's 4) named Lennon.
When i first heard the name I thought it was strange, but now it's really grown on me and I even think it's nice.
