Lennox.
I'm digging Lennox lately. What do you all think of it? Usable in the US? UK? Better or worse than Lennon? Would you call him Len, Lenny, Nox, just Lennox?How would you combo it? Right now I'm thinking Lennox Pòl [see Pol] or Lennox Peter [perhaps 'Peadar']. Lennox Leopold might be cool as well. I'm really into alliterative combos at the moment lol.

I want to like Lennox but it just doesn't have enough substance behind it to me, I've been hearing this name a lot lately it seems a bit trendy too. I like Lennon a little more it seems more like a name to me.
Lennox Peter is nice out of your combos.

I don't like Lennox. It reminds me a lot of lummox, and it's too celeb-trendy-style, especially with nn Nox. Also, it reminds me of Lenox china, which makes it sound pretentious. I think Lennon is better. Doesn't really need a nickname, but Len is okay.

I think I like Lennox. The first syllable is soft and smooth, but the x on the end gives it some punch and makes it interesting. It makes me think of Lennox Lewis and Lenox china which is a cool dichotomy, actually...brawly meets refined. It's definitely usable in the US, and, since Lennon's overwhelming celebrity connection and trendy two-syllable-ends-in-N sound don't impress me, I prefer Lennox. I wouldn't pre-select a nickname, but it wouldn't bother me if Len or Lenny seemed to suit him and ended up being used. I don't like Nox at all. My favorite of your combos is Lennox Peter.

I really like it :) I am located in NY. I like Lennon better, but I am bias, that is my son's name. We call my son Len, Lenny and Lennon interchangeably. His middle name is Clayton and we also sometimes call him Lenny Clay ;) I love his name! I love the coolness of it long, I love the casualness of it short, and I love the strength of plain LEN. I am very pleases with the name we chose.For Lennox, I also really like the NN Nox, but I have a hunch no one would actually use it. Shortening to Lenny or Len seem more intuitive somehow.I am not usually a fan of "P" names, but I kind of like Lennox Pol.I am not really a fan of your other MNs. Maybe a different L name if you like alliteration?Lennox Lachlan
Lennox Leif
Lennox Lewis
Lennox Leroy
Lennox Lawrence

Too Annie Lennox.It has a really trendy feel to it and makes me think of the moon for some reason. The latter is at least kind of a positive.With more unexpected middle names though it's not seeming so bad. I like Lennox Pol.

I'm in the US, and I think it's usable. I like Lennon too; I'm not sure which I think is better. Lennox reminds me of Mary Lennox, and Lennon reminds me of (who else) John Lennon. I love Lennox Peter. I'd probably call a Lennox Len or just Lennox. Maybe Nox. Not Lenny though.

I like Lennox. It seems usable to me. I prefer it to Lennon. Len and Lenny are adorable nicknames.I like Lennox Pòl the best out of the combos.Edited to correct typo.

I think Lennox is very cool. I wouldnt use a nickname but I think Lenny sounds kind of cute. As for combos I like Lennox Pol and Lennox Leopold. A while ago I read a book where of the female characters was named Lennox and so I always think of it as a girl's name for that reason, even though it doesn't sound particulary feminine.
