Opinions on the name Lynne?
Not pregnant, just discussing future baby names with a friend and got a very funny look when I said this one so decided to see what the MN consensus was!

Very sorry, but a dreadful name.

I like it. It's sweet, unusual these days and unfussy. I've seen it spelt Linn before and prefer that spelling - Google tells me the Linn spelling is a Scottish and Scandinavian variant.

it's nice and it's really unusual. no-one will be able to spell it butg that's true for lots of names.

I think it’s quite pretty!

I know a lovely Lynne but she hates that name. Please think of something more imaginative for your child!

My cousin. She's nice. Not awful, nasty or old!

Pigaletta that was my first thought too!

No, it's an awful name.

It just makes me think of Alan Partridge!

No, like Zibbidoo only Lynn/Lynnes I've known have been awful.

ZibbidooZibbidooZibbidoo · 20/04/2018 19:57

Shock nooo! Lynne is awful. Ive know 4 in my life and they’ve all been nasty fuckers Grin

Not for me. My mum (64) used to have lots of friends called Lynne. All women old before their time.
