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.

I hate it as a middle name (no offense) because I feel like so many people just stick it there, even when it isn't the best choice of middle name to go with their first name. It's just so overused as a middle name and I don't think it complements many first names. However, I have no specific issues with it being used as a first name, or existing as part of a first name (e.g. Lyndsay, Caitlyn etc).
