If you had to name one of your kids one of these names, which would you pick? Please don't reply with anything along the lines of
"Neither. Both are ghastly."
because that's not the point 😂

Ok, I stand corrected; 7 babies born in USA in 2017 were named Aerolynn.
In answer to your OP, Saffi.

ilovetofu · 17/10/2019 17:13

Is Saffi short for Saphron?

PandaTurtle · 17/10/2019 17:13

Saffi but with Saffron as the full name or a similar name (Safiya?) that sounds less like a nickname.

Aerolynn sounds like a chocolate bar or a dodgy airline.

ilovetofu · 17/10/2019 17:13

Please don't call your child Areolyn!!!

Ambidexte · 17/10/2019 17:14

Staffi or Airline?

So hard to choose.

funkt · 17/10/2019 17:16

Lol, just wondering.

Saffi short for Saffia

Aero Lynnie sounds like a product or something.

reginafelangee · 17/10/2019 17:19

Saffi

Aero Lyn is quite awful

Bezalelle · 17/10/2019 17:27

Saffi. But then I'd immediately change it by deed poll to a better name!

fedup21 · 17/10/2019 17:29

They both sound like brands sold in a haberdashery.

Pandaintheporridge · 17/10/2019 17:32

Neither. Both are ghastly.

Clangus00 · 17/10/2019 17:35

Hideous names, but Saffi is slightly better.

Stickyuptail · 17/10/2019 17:41

Saffi on the basis it’s a nickname for Saffron which is more user friendly than Aeroflot.

BigRedBoat · 17/10/2019 17:44

Aero Lyn is awful so Saffi!

Itsallpetetong · 17/10/2019 17:44

Saffi

Zaphodsotherhead · 17/10/2019 17:47

Saffi sounds like a dog. Aerolynne sounds like a brand of cleaning fluid.

So Saffi, but be prepared to have half a dozen labradors come every time you shout it in the park.

Shockers · 17/10/2019 17:51

‘Saffi dahling, get the Aerolynn from under the sink- the drains need doing.’

Butterfly02 · 17/10/2019 17:52

Saffi

Lowlandlucky · 17/10/2019 17:53

Aerolynn sounds like a aircraft company, Saffy is better spelt with a y

RaininSummer · 17/10/2019 17:55

Saffi. The other one is truly odd.

Marcipex · 17/10/2019 18:42

Saffi

Silvercatowner · 17/10/2019 19:35

"Saffi" is that awful girl from Abfab. Aerolynn? Seriously? Sounds like the name of some sort of Vera Lynn world war 2 air bombardment mission.

Jane is a nice name.

safariboot · 17/10/2019 19:37

Aerolynn because for some reason it made me think of Aerosmith and they're a half-decent band.

Saffi 'sounds foreign' somehow. Though maybe I'm wrong. I'd feel like a bit of a fraud giving a child of mine a non-English name.

Moonmelodies · 17/10/2019 19:46

Areolynn

TalentedMsRipley · 17/10/2019 19:49

What about Aeromint? 🤪
