Very American - so if you’re American, go for it 🤷‍♀️

Personally not my taste.

DuchessOfNarcissex · 25/03/2025 22:01

How do you say Lacelyn - Lassel-in? Layce-lyn?
Laney I'd spell as Leni or Lainey.

I'd look for other names.

Laney is the least bad of the two.

Comedycook · 25/03/2025 21:50

I dislike both but Laney is the better of the two.

cheapskatemum · 25/03/2025 21:49

I prefer Laney to Lacelyn.

Laceylyn sounds like a porn star

GoodVibesHere · 25/03/2025 21:40

Awful

ScentOfAMoomin · 25/03/2025 21:36

Lacelyn sounds made up and American.

laney is not massively to my taste, but is a million times better than Lacelyn

CatrionaBalfour · 25/03/2025 21:35

They don't sound like real names. They're going to be problematic for the child. How about
Lacey
Evelyn
Elaine

Sleepington · 25/03/2025 21:33

They aren't my style either I'm afraid.

It might be an idea to maybe change the spelling of the second name to Lainey as people will be more familiar with that spelling?

dontyousay · 25/03/2025 21:33

I dont like names that end in -Lyn really. Lacey is ok.

I like Laney but only as a nickname, would go with something like Adalaine, Helena, Delaney, Magdalena as a full name

MiddleAgedDread · 25/03/2025 21:33

They’re both pretty awful IMO but if you like them then use them.
Lacelyn sounds made up and the only Laney I’ve ever known was actually an Elaine trying and failing to sound more cool.

YourAmberFawn · 25/03/2025 21:30

I’ll be honest, they’re not my style.
They feel very American to me and I’m not a big lover of Americanised names.

Sorry
