I dislike the Beatles so much that I'd almost rather see a Lenin than Lennon, honestly. And that's saying a lot.

The lead singer of Oasis (british rock band) Liam Gallagher named his son Lennon Francis (after John Lennon) I prefer this name for a boy

I love it for a girl. Very cute!! For a boy, it's a bit weak sounding, imo. Though, I think because of John Lennon, it could be a good mn.

I know a little boy named Lennon.
It's okay, in my opinion.

I like it!

I love it, and if I used it, it'd be after John Lennon. I really like Len and Lenny as nicknames.

(However, since I prefer Elenor/Elenore with the nickname Lennie, I'd be more likely to use that than Lennon.)

Get into the car
We'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
See the city's ripped insides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
The sky was made for us tonight

The sound is lovely, but it screams "John Lennon" to me, which is just distracting. Because he had the generic non-name John, the name that really sticks in our minds as his is Lennon.

I can imagine it... ;-)

Seriously.. I think it'd work. Sure people would think of John L, but he's been dead long enough I don't think it is weird. For a kid born today, it'd be likely the parents were born well after JL's death, and that'd make it much less fan-y and more tribute-y and surname-y, to me.

Possible problem: sounds just like Lenin in some accents.

Aside from the obvious reference to John Lennon, I also think of "Lemon".

---

But it is such an obvious reference to the Beatles that it sounds dated, imo.

I don't really like the Beatles and in this day and age you really couldn't use it without people thinking of John Lennon. As far as the name itself, I think it's cute. I think of it as a girl name though, it's a little soft to be masculine...but not too masculine to be unfeminine. Does that make sense?
