My 3 year old daughter’s name is Lennox and I do not regret it. I think the nickname “Lenny” is super cute and suits her spunky personality! I think it works great for boy or girl, like many names these days.
Our first son is Roman and we're looking for an equally awesome name if we have a 2nd little boy. We feel like Lennox may be that name! I don't know why people are using it on girls when it's so masculine. All I can think of is Lennox Lewis the famous boxer.
Lennox is a great name. We chose it for our boy after listening to Annie Lennox's amazing cover of "Don't Let It Bring You Down" by Neil Young. Obviously Annie was not happening, but I stared at Lennox and the more I looked at it the more I liked it. I'm so glad he's not Matthew H or Chris M in his kindergarten. It's nice to be unique.Our Lennox will be 6'2" or taller. I'd say it's quite fitting of any kid who is bound to be a big boy. Strong, powerful name.
I typically like unisex names on boys, but I kind of like Lennox as a feminine name. It seems to have a spunky vibe to it. That's not to say that it can't suit a boy, it certainly can, but it has a really cool feel when paired with a long, ultra-feminine middle name.
We named our daughter Lennox. We wanted a name that was strong and unique. To soften it, her middle name is Eloise. We love that Lennox is a name that can be either masculine/feminine and we prefer names with those qualities.
I love the name Lennox for a girl, my first mental image is Mary Lennox. I don't get any uber-masculine vibe from it at all, after all it began as a place name, followed by being a surname and is therefore not a "boy" name. Just like any other place name or nature name, it is perfectly lovely and very usable for either sex.

Lennox is super masculine. Clearly a boy's name that I could never imagine on a girl. It would be like naming a girl Magnus. That being said, I think Lennox is a strong, sophisticated Shakespearean name with a good meaning. It wouldn't work on every little boy, but matched with the right personality, it could be a great name choice.
Lenox is a brand of fine china. I directly associate this name with the female gender and simply cannot imagine naming a boy after fine china, personally. It's classy, easy to pronounce, and isn't overly common like Mary, Jessica or Emma, for example.
We named our daughter Lennox in 1996. She is a very cool kid and it fits her well. I'm not a hipster, but would like to think I'm a cool mom. It's a great name for a girl or boy. I always thought her name sounded strong and had a leadership feel to it. She is definitely a leader! Her middle name is Delaney. I think we are going to hear more people using it yearly.
With today's trends such as Nyx and Lux, I don't see why not Lennox for a girl.

93 baby GIRLS born in the US in 2012 were given the name Lennox. This could be one of the most masculine names there is. I have a very hard time imagining a little girl with pigtails and a pink dress named Lennox.
Yuck. Am I the only one who doesn't like this name? I admit it's not as bad as the similar sounding Maddox, but it's pretty darn close. I would imagine the type of people who name their son Lennox to be some weird hipsters who think it sounds "cool" and "obscure" or unwed teenage parents. Heck, maybe even both. It's a nice name for a dog though.

I love the name. It has a rock star feeling to it but to be honest I feel it's a girl name not because it's girly but because the first time I heard this name it was a girl from 'Melissa and Joey' so my opinion is different. Like I imagine a cool girl who's independent. But if you're using it for a boy it's still cool and for using it for a girl then use a feminine middle name so it has an elegant twist to it.
