Len or Lenno?

Lennon doesn't need a nickname. My daughter has a four syllable name that I don't shorten often.

---

Also as he grows he may gain a fun nickname. My 32 year old brother Christian goes solely by Chin and has since he was 6. My youngest cousin couldn't say his name so called him Chitchin. Even my friends call him that.

---

My daughter who we obsessed about nicknames now only prefers Theodora or Dordor which is how she pronounced her own name at 1.

---

Our other daughter gets Mini because she is the little one :)

Lennon is already quite a short name, so I'm not sure it needs a nickname. If not Lenny (which I'm not fond of either), then how about Lemmy? It is a bit of a stretch, but it might work. Middle names really depend on your tastes, but Lennon Alexander, Lennon Oliver, or Lennon Anthony are versatile ones that came to my mind

Len is fine. Lennon is also fine. Or L. I know a Lennox who gets called Len a lot, never Lenny.

Not Len either, then? It's a short name already - does he actually need a nn that is a shortened form of Lennon? Because if you all just call him/refer to him as Lennon, within a couple of months a nn of some kind will have generated itself.

dont worry about family members. They'll adjust, your baby you can name him what you want. Stick to his full name, cutesy nn will evolve and nothing to do with name, Buddy, Champ etc

Lennon doesn't need a nickname. The only related options are really Lenny or Len. If you love Lenny, use it! He's your son.

You could also call him any nickname you want - I know a Robert who everyone calls Buddy, and a David that everyone calls Chip.

Perhaps Lino (Leeno) or Nino (Neeno);
normally NN's of Linus and Angelino, Antonino and Giannino.

Would Lon or Lonnie / Lonny be too much of stretch for a nickname?

I like Lenny, or Len. If Lenny is what comes naturally to you then don’t feel the need to change it based on what your family thinks. Eventually it will become his nickname rather than just a nickname, if that makes sense, and they will acclimatise to it.

I don't think Lennon needs a nickname as it is short already. Len might be a natural shortening.

The middle name should try and avoid N sounds.
