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.

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

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.

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

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).

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.

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.

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

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

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

But that doesn't change the fact that they're her parents, lol.

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

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.

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 :/

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

lmao, iawtc wholeheartedly. I don't like Sean either, but it's a perfectly acceptable choice. Nothing I'd use, but I'd never knock anyone for choosing it. Jailynn (in any form) is hideous.

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

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

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 =/
