[Opinions] King
WOW! It feels weird that I'm not on here to often.
Anywany, here are a few names that are on my mind -Lennox (for a girl)
Kingston (to Gwen Stefani?)
Jorie / JoryI'm in love with the name Kingston and Kingsley but can't choose which I like best - What are the pros and cons? And, what names have the same feel?

Lennox just reminds me of crystal and china, not a kid. :-/ Kingston is a little too surname-y for me, but I have to admit I like it a tiny bit just because of Gwen Stefani, lol. I don't care for King as a nn, though. Sounds too much like a dog. We have a baby boy at work right now named King Lee Lastname. Ewww. Jory is cute on a boy, and Jorie is kind of ok but only as a nn for Marjorie. I know a girl named Jory, but it's nms.

Lennox - only like it on a boy. Just not feminine. On either gender, though, it seems like it's trying too hard, with the x and the resemblance to Maddox.Kingston - awesome name, especially if it is connected to Kingston, Jamaica. I think Kingsley is too fussy. Similar names: Quincy, Quinn, Quentin, Vidor (like King Vidor, lol), Hampton, Hudson, Leighton, Afton, Barton, Charleston, Faulkner, Peregrine, Sidney, Fenton, Houston, Keaton, Keats, Lyndon, Marlon, Raleigh, Thurston, Theron, Thornton, Thor, Montego, Montgomery, Monty, KitsonJorie / Jory - cute. I could see this getting popular in the UK, along the lines of Alfie, Charlie, Freddie, etc.

Kingston is a GP of mine, Kingsley not so much. Lenox and Jory I just don't like at all.Kristen~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kingsley sounds like an adverb to me, so that's a definite no. I don't like Kingston but it's certainly preferable. It's a city name to me, so it's weird, but I've heard worse.Jory seems very much a nickname to me, although I can't think of what it could be for.Lennox I just can't stand.
