-lyn names? *

[paperboat118.livejournal.com]

I am by no means having a baby, considering my age, but I love baby names quite a lot.
A family name of mine is "-Lyn."
For years I was madly in love with the name "Madelyn Sierre." Not Sierra, just Sierre. I wanted to name a future daughter that for years, but now I'm contemplating it, because Madelyn is getting so popular.
Another name I REALLY like is Caitlyn Brielle, but Caitlyn has always been a pretty popular, and I'm not the kind of person who's going to name my kid a name that 3 others kids will have in her class.
So, my question is, What other names do you know/like containing -Lyn?
Thanks!


EDIT: On Opendiary, somebody suggested Katialyn. That's adorable, but I despise the spelling. K's get to me. Majorly.
So what spellings could spell it well?
Catealyn
Caitialyn
Catialyn
Caytealyn

And, my mum's name is Leigh... does that mean a straight EE sound can be spelled "eigh?"
In that case
Cateighalyn?
Wow that's too long, lol.

Ashlyn, Kailyn, Carolyn,

[paperboat118.livejournal.com]

I have twin cousins named Ashlyn & Kaylynn.
Carolyn isn't my type of name.
Thanks for the help though!

[composure.livejournal.com]

Weird.
Oh, and there was a girl on last season's Beauty and the Geek with the name Caitelyn [kite-il-in]

[the-theorist.livejournal.com]

I love the name Caitlyn or Kaitlyn, but for her to go by Kait (Kate)

just an idea

[checkingmypulse.livejournal.com]

also, i'm not a big fan, but my cousin is named Amylyn

[paperboat118.livejournal.com]

My aunts name is Amy Lyn, Lyn being her middle name.

[checkingmypulse.livejournal.com]

i like the name Shalin (pronounced Shay-Lynn) - could be spelled a bunch of different ways i'm sure!

[paperboat118.livejournal.com]

Thats adorable!
Never met a Shalin before.

[amberatcmu.livejournal.com]

I have a cousin named Shaelyn and i love her name

[tearsmist.livejournal.com]

MADELYN
JADELYN
BRYNN
MAGDALEN
ASHLYN
MARILYN

[paperboat118.livejournal.com]

Madelyn: LOVE it, but getting oh-so-popular.
Jadelyn: Pron "Jade-Lin" or "Jada-Lin"?
Brynn: Reminds me of a girl I went to elementary school with. We didnt get along.
Magdalen: Im not sure how to even pronounce that
Ashlyn: My cousin.
Marilyn: ehh. In between love and hate. Reminds me of Pinkett's daughter on Opendiary.

[tearsmist.livejournal.com]

Magdalen- Meg-da-lyn
Jadelyn- Jade-lin

[paperboat118.livejournal.com]

Magdalen is very cute!

[tearsmist.livejournal.com]

:) that is my little cousin/god daughter's name.. we call her maggie for short :)

[anapology.livejournal.com]

That's like Mary Magdalen.. hmm religious connection? i would never use it because i'm really not religious.. but Maggie is adorable. Too bad i dont like nicknames as first names & i odnt like any fiest names that Maggie could be shortened too.

Evelyn

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

I have a friend named Jaquelyn. I think it's very pretty. I also used to have a friend named Daralyn, but I'm not nuts about the name.
Hm, what else hasn't been mentioned...Jocelyn, Brooklyn, Emilyn, Kellyn, Irelyn, Fallyn, Iralyn, Ellyn, Jolyn (jo-lin). I also once met a girl named, of all things, Allyn. Not saying I LIKE all of these names, but hey, you might! :)

[paperboat118.livejournal.com]

My middle name is Jacquelynn.
Lol
Jocelyn is cute.
As is Jolyn.

[simplymelodious.livejournal.com]

One of my twins is Madelyn :)

I'm no help just wanted to throw that in.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

carlyn, gwendolyn, jocelyn, llewellyn, rosalyn

[hannallegro.livejournal.com]

What about Adelyn?

[magcnurserybaby.livejournal.com]

Brooklyn
Jessalyn
Cathlyn
Cailyn (Kaylyn)

[paperboat118.livejournal.com]

my cousins name is Kaylynn.

[solyma.livejournal.com]

i like the spelling katelyn, but you said you don't like k's, so... catelyn? haha i dunno. :)

[turabiannights.livejournal.com]

Wow, you sure have a lot of -lyns in your family!

[krosp.livejournal.com]

I don't think Caitlin is as popular now as it was 10-15 years ago.

This link http://www.namenerds.com/irish/Katelyn.html shows you 155 ways that the name 'Caitlin' has actually been spelled in official records! It also has a link to related names.

+The only one I can think of that hasn't been said ... Sheralyn

[composure.livejournal.com]

I would not through eigh in, unless it came at the end of the name - Kayleigh, Ashleigh, etc. Having it somewhere in the middle looks rediculous.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_whiskeytears/]

My friend spells hers Catlyn

[estrella-jenita.livejournal.com]

Aaralyn has always been one of my faves... also Caitilin (Kite-ih-lin)

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I have to say, i dont like the spelling of Madelyn, though i understand you like it for the 'lyn' spelling.. i looks messed up to me. It's such a pretty name (the original Madeleine)

Caitlyn is gorgeous, it might be popular but it's still one of those beautiful classics. It may not be as popular when you decide to have kids anyway. ( feel the same as you do about K's!!)- i prefer the spelling Cate/Cait.. as a nn.

Adalyn
Avalyn- (Aver-Lyn)
Cailyn/Caelyn
Evelyn- Not Ever-lyn as most people pronounce it but Eve-lyn.
Jocelyn
Rosalyn- Either Rse-uh-lyn or Roz-uh-lyn)
Roslyn
Taylyn

K thats all i have!

[anapology.livejournal.com]

Oh- ps i dont like Katialyn or any spelling of it... the ones you have look weird! Katia on it's own is a lovley name though.

[jenniferdunn.livejournal.com]

Maelyn (May-lyn)
Kailyn (Kay-lyn)
Jalyn (Jay-lyn)

only names I could think of that I didn't see up there already.

[scintillated.livejournal.com]

My sister's name is Kweilin (or to go with the thread, Kweilyn). Heh.

[paperboat118.livejournal.com]

How do you pronounce that?

[scintillated.livejournal.com]

Kway-lin.

[neroli.livejournal.com]

In each of the the names you list as phonetic alternatives to Caitlin, you include enough extra letters that people will be led to believe there is an extra syllable and the name is supposed to be said "Katie Allen".

[neroli.livejournal.com]

P.S. My cousin's daughter's name is Meilyn. Very pretty!

[paperboat118.livejournal.com]

Pron like May-lin?

[paperboat118.livejournal.com]

That's the point.
Actually, it's pronounced Kay-tea-uh-lyn. The "Kay-tea-uh" is enunciated.

[neroli.livejournal.com]

Oh, I couldn't tell for sure how you wanted us to say it!

I wonder if you would like something like Acadia Lynn (Cady for short). A lot of people really like place names, and Acadia certainly fits the bill.

[neroli.livejournal.com]

Yes!

[paperboat118.livejournal.com]

both names are adorable!
I really like Acadia Lynn :)

[whisperthewords.livejournal.com]

I think Maiwenn is a beautiful name, and it's sort of similar to Madelyn. I'm pretty sure it's not too popular.

[peach-rose-girl.livejournal.com]

Cailyn
Jessalyn
Jocelyn

I like Magdalyn, but I prefer Magdaline or Magdalena. I also prefer Madeleine to Madelyn.

"Eigh" in the middle of a name is pretty awful.
