Apparently Britney Spears is having a girl and she's planning on naming her Jailynn in honour of her parents Jamie & Lynn, and sister Jamie-Lynn. I've always thought Jamie-Lynn was a stupid conncoction of her parents names, this is far worse.
IMO Jailynn is awfully trendy & ugly. Why would you want 'jail' in a name?

Anyone else? My guess is most people agree with me!

Agreed! A very nice name that is kind of similar is Jayla. I first heard that on Next Top Model.

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

It's also weird because her parents are divorced now.

[so-there.livejournal.com]

yeah, but if it's pronounced like jai-lynn, most people won't notice the "jail". I didn't until you said it.

that said, I do hate mish-mosh names.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

Well to me, it sounds like someone saying "Jailing" who drops their g's... Jailin'

Not that that's actually a word, but it's close enough to one.

[tiffrobyn.livejournal.com]

"Jail" is probably where the child's daddy will end up sooner or later. Might be fitting. Heh.

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

Haha!! I hope.

[hemsky83.livejournal.com]

I really like it

[sayga.livejournal.com]

i think she could do a lot worse, but no, i don't like it.

[ladyartemisa.livejournal.com]

this is britney we are talking about.. did you expect anything different?

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

well she did pretty good on the first kids name. Sean Preston.

[pearshateraqui.livejournal.com]

Yes, not a very pretty name, nor very original. Although I guess if she wants to conjoun names, she could have gone with Kevney (Kevin/Britney).

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

or Britvin
But, seriously, her sister is already named after both her parents. She needs to pick someone else to name this kid after!

Jailyn is one of the most white trash names I can think of, so I'm hoping it's just tabloid-y stuff and not true. :(

The poor little girl is going to get so many jailbait jokes made about her.

If you're going to do some sort of weird mish mosh name, at least don't put jail right in there.

[morphinae.livejournal.com]

white trash - agreed!

[bloomingtulip.livejournal.com]

I like it. Because of how I'm assuming it's pronounced (jai-lyn), I don't think the jail thing will be that big of an issue. It sounds pretty to me although I wish it only had one -n.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

yeah, i mean im not saying i believe it or anything, but i'm bored. Apparently she ordered a load of pink baby stuff worth $30,000 from a store.

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

I love it. It's on my list, actually, spelt Jaylynne.

I'm glad she's having a girl, too.

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

Plus I adore Britney and I wish people would get off her back. Go her.

[thunderofsins.livejournal.com]

What, thats just horrible.

[unfshine.livejournal.com]

I saw this on a magazine cover yesterday. The first thing I noticed was the word JAIL.

[thejoysofjess.livejournal.com]

I actually like the name Jaylen, but it does smack of too trendy. And I only like it spelled that way. There was a Jaylen in my graduating class, actually, so it's at least 20+ years old, not as much of a new and exciting name.

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

Absolutely awful, but I think that's still just speculation. I don't think SHE has come out and said she was going to use that name. I hope she doesn't :/

[calixbat.livejournal.com]

I could deal with the name once I realized the bigger problem-her kids will be born the same day! That is just mean!

[darabelle.livejournal.com]

Her kids will be born the same day? Huh?

[monalyssasmile.livejournal.com]

What an ugly name! I agree about the white trash comments too. Any -lynn name except Katelyn is white trash to me.

[a-groovy-gypsy.livejournal.com]

Marilyn
Evelyn

Trashy?

[jenniferdunn.livejournal.com]

I went to grade school with a girl named Jalyn, pronounced the same way. I don't dig the spelling much, but I don't think it's horrible. Combining your parents names is kind of odd.. and even odder that it's pretty much a jumbled form of her sister's name, but oh well =/

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

It sounds like some sort of slang expression for being incarcerated.
"Girl, Have you seen Travis?"
"I hear he's jailin'!"

[krosp.livejournal.com]

YES!

[heyitsrebecca.livejournal.com]

All I see is Jail-ynn. =( Jaylynn is awful too, but Jailynn is a whole other level of bad. Just an invented name, with no meaning that doesn't age well, and there's thousands of them running around, it's not unique in the slightest.
She did so good with naming Sean Preston, I'm really hoping its not true..

[x-lostinyou.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping that because she publically announced she'd do it, means she'll pull a celeb and do something else. Probably something equally horrific, though.

[turabiannights.livejournal.com]

Traaaaashy trashy trashy. I hope this is a ruse.

[274-days.livejournal.com]

Most likely.
Look how many people have had their say on here, let alone the millions that will buy the magazines and also have their own opinion ;)

[dreemerr.livejournal.com]

i think of it pronounced as jay-lyn. so to me i think it is pretty said that way. it doesnt really bother me when people use two names to make one, if they infact look/sound normal like this name does. i think im wondering more what the middle name is.

[mountain-nest.livejournal.com]

one more reason Britney should have been sterilized.
