Lynn

I was a bit surprised that the name "Lynn" has never appeared on the social security list. I know that Lynn is more common / and over used as a middle name - but I thought it was semi-used for a first name.

Lyn and Lynne also had no apprences.

41 times. That's the number of times in 2005 that a name with either Lynn or Lyn as it's ending made the girl list.

What are your thoughts on the name Lynn? Great for a first? Better as a middle? Rather keep it with something such as Carolyn? Or do you highly dislike it period?


Lynn is my middle name - but it has family reasons comes from my mom's maiden name, so I don't think it has a "filler" however I do know or knew alot of people with Lynn as their middle and it was used as the filler excuse/reason which does bother me. I think it's too short to work as a middle, sounds incomplete for some reason. Far as an ending to a name it all depends on the name.

My name is Kari Lynn, and I like it because I think they sound good together. My whole family uses both my first and middle names (Kari Lynn instead of just Kari), so it's a little odd for me to see Lynn used on it's own. Also, reading through this post and seeing Lynn so many times has made it look really weird to me. lol. (Like when you say a word so many times that it loses all meaning)

But I do think it's nice as a first name. More unique than using it as a middle name. :)
