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

Thanks!

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

I know a lovely Lyn born 40 years ago

Sky.

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

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.

Sky. Lynn is a bit matronly.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 28/01/2017 14:40

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

mumhum · 28/01/2017 14:39

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

daisydaisychain · 28/01/2017 14:38

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

unflinchingasaphotograph · 28/01/2017 14:37

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

MrsBungle · 28/01/2017 14:37

Sky.
