Will be 2 first names - not looking for opinions on it. Just would like to know which you would go for?

I've never come across Lyn. Lynn is the original and Lynne is a more feminine version (Brook/Brooke, etc.) where did Lyn come from?

Agree that Lyn doesn't look right!

The one I went to school with spelled it I Lyn. I didn't realise that it was unusual.

As long as it's for a girl, either is nice. Just checking as I can't be sure on here this week-waiting for someone to want to call their boy Daisy and girl Matthew.

Anna Lynn.

Never seen Lyn IRL and it looks wrong. Lynne looks overdone to me; the e is unnecessary.

Anna Lynn.

Anna Lynne. I seem to be in the minority but it somehow looks unfinished to me without the "e" on the end.

I prefer the Lynne spelling.

paddypants13 · 01/02/2017 11:10

I like Anna Lynne I agree with the pp who said Lynne doesn't look finished without the E.

Lovely name op.
