Lynn. Lunh will just cause confusion.
It’s nice to hear something different and refreshing.

Even when it’s spelled right, it’s a pretty dull and dated name tbh. Sorry!

SwedishEdith · 09/04/2020 17:19

Is Lynh meant to be Lyhn - like John? Either way, it's still awful.

I actually quite like Lin - think it looks quite cool now.

Never seen Lynh, prefer Lynn

Lynh is not a name. It’s not very aesthetically pleasing as a word. Lynne is my preferred spelling over Lynn personally, but either is fine. But please not Lynh

I prefer the first spelling. Lynne is better though.
What about Lynn as a nickname and using Gwendolyn or Madeline?

Lynn is very dated and Lynh is especially awful.

Lynette?

Lynh would mean a lifetime of the poor kid spelling out her name.

Syrrup · 09/04/2020 17:09

Lynh looks like a typo

PorpentinaScamander · 09/04/2020 17:09

Is Lynh a name? It looks made up.
Of the 2 I prefer Lynn. Although Lyn would be my choice.

Windyatthebeach · 09/04/2020 17:07

Why would you consider either??
Confused

WhittlingIhopMonkey · 09/04/2020 17:05

Lynh isnt a name. It's not even a word.

Lindy2 · 09/04/2020 17:03

I've never seen Lynh as a spelling.

I've seen Lynn, Lynne and Lyn though.

Of your 2 spellings I definitely prefer Lynn.
