A name like Linda but “younger”

[DoYaKnowTheFiveLamps]

I love the name Linda but it’s very 70s to me and makes me think of a 50-something woman rather than someone young

I’ve always liked Linnhe pronounced Linny

Linda is elegant. It's fresh and pretty, like a waft of jasmine on the breeze. Why do you care if other people think it's "dated"? Your opinion is the one that counts. If you pick a "younger", trendy name, that, too, will date.

Get ahead of the trend and go for Linda. It's already making a comeback as a middle name (presumably by people using granny's name as a middle name) and it can't be long before it makes a comeback as a first name.

Me too Linda is 70 or maybe even 80.

Lynn, Laura, Louise, Lyndsay are in there 50s

Melinda?

Lindy
Libby
Lydia
Lyndsey

Lyndsay, Lynsey, Lindsey, Lindsay and Linzi are all in their late 30s to early 40s and went to school with either me or my sister! There were 5 Lynseys of various spellings in my year.

What about Lincia - love this name 💖

Maybe it's a name that was in for a long time, I'm 50s and was in school with a few Lyndsays, male and female.

But it might be regional too, Lindsay is a Scottish name. I also know one in their 70s.

Is it pronounced “ Lynch-ya”? Like Lucia ( Lu-Chee-ya )? If so that might be an issue op.

This was North-East England. Maybe it took until the 80s to trickle down from Scotland 😅

@DoYaKnowTheFiveLamps as a few others have said, just go with Linda.

It's easy to say, easy to spell, pretty, underused.

Don't tell anyone until she's born if you can't face debating it. After a couple of, "Linda?" comments it will just be her name ❤️

It is pronounced;

lins - see - ah

three syllables xx

Linda is my 15yo dd’s middle name. She really likes it. I think it’s a lovely sound.

Yes I suppose so is Lu-chee-a really when I think about it.

I was just thinking if the ci was ch not see then it would sound rather like “ lynch”
