It will be Lynn or Sky (we don't like the extra unnecessary 'e' on either name).

Thanks!

Isn't 'Lyn' an alternative spelling though?

They're very different! I prefer Sky, as Lynn is very much in the Shirley, jean, Linda, Joan age of names for me.

I prefer sky but I admit I prefer it with the e so it's like the island not the sky.

How do you mean Lyn is 'alternative'? The one I know is very conventional!

Definitely Lynn. What a change thatll be in a class full of Islas and Avas Sorry but sky just screams chav to me.

Sky. Lynn is a bit matronly.

I don't think the e on Skye is unnecessary. The beautiful island is Skye and better to be named after that than the vast expanse above our heads.

Big thumbs down to Lyn, Lynn and Lynne though.

Lynn is of an era with Maxine, Barbara and Gwen. Yuck.

Yes but Lynn is the 'original' Lyn is an alternative spelling.

I like Sky. Lynn is very dated. It's a bit of a non name.

My DD is Sukai, pronounced sky. Spelt the Japanese way.

I prefer Lyn, whichever spelling. Agree with PP Sky is a bit chavvy.

CharlesDD · 28/01/2017 14:56

Chavvy? What the heck is that supposed to even mean? Working class?

Common (not as in popular) rather than working class.

I don't agree though, I like it.

chavvy - 'usually a younger and lowerer class person typified by loutish and brattish behaviour'

What's 'common' supposed to mean? Confused
