Lennon?

Am I crazy? Have pregnancy hormones gone wild? 38 weeks pregnant and suddenly absolutely in love with the name Lennon for a girl. DH thinks I've lost the plot but if she was born this minute, I'd be so tempted! We haven't agreed on a name yet which probably doesn't help. Please tell me if this is acceptable or not (I'm assuming not but I need to check on the off chance anyone likes it 😂). Also I'm foreseeing some Beatles comments, I like them but never been a big fan though DF loved them!

for a girl, no.
Love Leona or Leonora though or 'Lennie'

How about Lennox?

FASDE1517 · 27/08/2022 18:17

I like it!

If you are a super fan, but thought more for a boy. What about Milena? Lumina? Lena?

It's a surname, mostly famously of John Lennon. And like the pp said, it's recently come to light that he wasn't the greatest human being, although obviously he created some outstanding music.

Why would you want this, especially for a girl? If it's the sound you like then something like Leonie or Leonora probably comes closest. Quite attractive actual girl's names.

Love it for a girl and know of one as well. It's only increasing in popularity for girls and I think it's lovely.

OK for a boy.

If you dislike the Beatles I think it would be mad to name your child Lennon. It would immediately make me think the parents were big Beatles fans. And she’ll hear comments about it every day. Maybe save it for a middle name.

I once had a class of ten children and two of them were called Lennon.
I've taught about four or five Lennon's in my career so it's not that unusual.
They were all boys though.

It's the last name of a man. Just no. He wasn't a very nice man either.

Hillrunning · 27/08/2022 17:53

No, not OK. How about Leoni?

Hormones. Esp if you don't view John as a demi God.
