As a tribute to a family member, we'd like to bring Lynn ( one n, two n, e or no e all acceptable) is as a middle name OR as part of a first name. The latter appeals to me if I can find the right first name.

Like Evelyn or Madelyn.

Any other suggestions on how we can incorporate?

You couldn't call her Ambelynn. It sounds like Anne Boleyn

I used to know a female Lyndon, from the east of England.

Here in Wales, though, pretty much everyone would regard it as a boy's name.

I suppose it does sound fairly unisex.

I had a great aunt called Lynnella. Or it might have been spelled Lynella.

I've never met or heard of anyone else with that name. I think my great grandma made it up! She ran out of creativity with her other children though. They were Frederick, Winnifred, Joan and Maurice!

I think Lynne is a really beautiful and classic name and you should go for it as a standalone middle name. I think it would go with lots of first names - best of both worlds.

I liked Rosalyn too until I realised it would probably be shortened to Roz not Rosa...
