These are our top runners, I have a clear favourite and so does DP but they’re different.

help us to sway one way, which do you like best? Which do you know more of?

Lennon is fab.

Franklin is OK.

Not keen on Maddox.

I know a Maddox who is known as Mad Dog if that makes any difference, he is a wild one thou. I know a few Lennons and all are Lenny, Franklin is best imo - I like Frank

FuzzyWolf · 18/02/2026 20:47

I don’t like Mad as a nickname but I know a lovely Maddox so it gets my vote.

ImPamDoove · 18/02/2026 20:46

All dreadful.

None of them are my taste but:
Lenny is great
Frank is fine
Maddox - best of the three on your list but I'd use it as a middle name

Sorry not keen on any of them. Sound very American but if that’s the vibe you’re going for Franklin is OK.

Maddox!
i absolutely love this name. I know a young man called Maddox and as he is so wonderful it makes me smile.
It is modern but not ‘uneeek’

Franklin.
Because he could be Frank, Frankie or Fran.
Lennon might end up as Len.
Maddox as Mad.
Len and Mad don't sound great 🙂
