Does anyone know a young baby with this name?

No but my first thought was hailing a taxi.

CockleburIck · 11/11/2019 16:28

Sounds like bad weather.

KnickerBockerAndrew · 11/11/2019 16:31

No but I know several Heulyns. It's the Welsh word for sunbeam. For some reason, Hailyn spelled like that makes me think of Nazis. (IABU I know)

PurpleDaisies · 11/11/2019 16:32

It’s awful.

PlasticPatty · 11/11/2019 16:33

Hailyn and their twin, Failyn.

It’s unusual, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard any other kid with that name.

I like it

Chocolatedaim · 11/11/2019 16:34

It doesn’t have a very pleasant sound to it. Is it male or female?
Would you consider Hal?

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 11/11/2019 16:35

No & for good reason. That’s not a nice name.

BackforGood · 11/11/2019 16:50

No.

Where is it from ?
Does it have a meaning, or a link to your cultural heritage ?

I have to say, to my ears it sounds like a weather report.

diddlediddle · 11/11/2019 17:27

No, probably for good reason.

AutumnalLeaves38 · 11/11/2019 17:27

Is it a combination of Hailey and another name ending in 'lyn' (Caitlin/Jocelyn/Marilyn etc)?

I've never heard of it before, but don't dislike it.

MrsFoxPlus4Again · 11/11/2019 17:28

Nope, where did you hear it?

ojo821 · 11/11/2019 17:28

No, never heard of it.

MikeUniformMike · 11/11/2019 17:28

How about Rainyn or Snowyn?

misspiggy19 · 11/11/2019 17:29

Sounds made up

diddlediddle · 11/11/2019 17:32

Can always count on @MikeUniformMike 😁

MikeUniformMike · 11/11/2019 17:33

Heulyn is one of those welsh names that is difficult for non-speakers to pronounce. The " eu" has no equivalent sound in English.

NoSauce · 11/11/2019 17:40

Absolutely terrible. Is it made up?

june2007 · 11/11/2019 17:46

Hailyn a cab? It,s not the worst but I,m not kean.

MikeUniformMike · 11/11/2019 17:48

Hayling as in Island might be ok.

MangoSpice · 11/11/2019 17:52

I know an Helan but that's as close
as I can get.

BonBon411 · 11/11/2019 17:55

It’s awful

hungryhippie · 11/11/2019 18:03

How is it pronounced? Looks like it's weather related.
I don't like it.

OctopusNow · 11/11/2019 18:27

Van Halen?

OctopusNow · 11/11/2019 18:27

Might work with Vanessa as a first name...
