pretty much what it says in the title really.

for a boy, nickname as Lenny!

I like names that are a bit different but not so weird you would be like what.....

It's been on my name list for years, this is my 4th and final baby and I'm definitely using it this time regardless of gender!! 🙊 Though all 3 of my children's other names are very "edgy", marmite names if you like.

Yep Gareth is poor imho
What about Dashiel or Brodie?

AuraofDora · 31/07/2021 17:06

Lennox hmm I dunno if it’s too similar to Linux for me?

yes, Gareth (just to me, no offence to any Gary's!) is not great

I'd be looking for a dog!
Having said that, it's a million times better than Gareth

I don’t mind Lennox. I’ve taught one, very bright boy!
Don’t like Lenny much though.

Hockeyboysmum · 31/07/2021 14:48

Nope not at all. Nice name

she said how about something like Gareth? which I then pulled a horrified face at so yes it probably is just as well we dont all like the same names! 😂

I’d raise two. But if we all liked the same name we’d be scuppered.

It is rough, op, but might vary round the country.
