Lynn or Sky?

[CharlesDD]

It will be Lynn or Sky (we don't like the extra unnecessary 'e' on either name).

Thanks!

Blimey, where have you been??

I like Skylar shortened to sky

I prefer Lyn/Lynn/Lynne

Two very different names
Sky - hippy
Lynn - old fashioned 60's name

I like Sky. As with pp, I think of Lynn as a mid-century name.

Sky - pseudo hippy. Skye, the more popular choice, slightly better. Not keen on either, though.

Lynn - ok, but bear in mind on the dated side at present.

I prefer Lynn.

I'd like Sky better if it was called Skye like the island. Sky is a bit like calling her Water or Sea. (sorry)

The "e" on Skye isn't unnecessary. Use Sky or Skye but maybe educate yourself on British geography because your OP was rude.

Regardless, Lynn is lovely and underused.

Sky

.... what duckfart said....

I really like Sky.

Sky is lovely

Sky and Skylar are a bit try hard like Harper etc. And yes a bit common. Lynn is unusual in this day and age but if they rattle your cage go for either.

I prefer the geographic spelling of Skye, though if I was going Scottish island I'd go Iona.

Lynn isn't a bad name, for me though there hasn't been enough time for it to come back. Sort of a sister to Debbie or Kathy & I'm not quite ready for them either - just as my mum would have seen Alfred or Violet as dated (but I love those).

I like them both

I like Lynn if you want a 'proper' name that's not a popular one.

Sky(e) is a bit 'of the moment' for me and might date badly

Lynn is gorgeous and due a revival. Also Linnet is nice and unusual. Or even Llinos which is Welsh, I think.

I'm a primary school teacher (25+years) and I've never had a Lynn yet. Many Skys.

Llinos is Welsh, but please don't use it in England unless you can pronounce the Ll sound.

Linnet is gorgeous imo. So pretty but not with the ubiquitous ee sound at the end of modern girl's name.

Oh yes I love Linnet

Llinos is Welsh, but please don't use it in England unless you can pronounce the Ll sound.

Absolutely yes ^. I am English but went to university in Wales. One of the ladies who cleaned our halls of residence was called Llinos. We oh-so-hilarious English students found it most amusing that the cleaner was called Cleanos. It makes me feel rather embarrassed now, poor lady, and very aware of blundering English pronunciations!

I think Lyn is rather pretty actually (prefer the one 'n' for some reason). And Skye rather than Sky.

boy or girl?

Both are unisex names.

The only female lynnes that I know are over 60.

I'm in my 40's and the majority of lynnes that I know are at least ten years older. It's really dated and not even pretty. Sky is an ice name although becoming more popular, but definitely spelt Skye

Definitely Sky.
