Nyleen/Nylene

Do you like Nyleen/Nylene (not sure of the spelling) for a girl, or is it too unusual? I can’t remember where I first heard this name, but I remember thinking it was pretty. I certainly like it more than Darlene, Marlene, Maureen, and Norene, as it feels fresher. I actually think this style of name is due a comeback.

Nuala?

I can only hear it in terms of Joan Ferguson bawling "Nyleeeeeeeeen, that's insubordination - I'm putting you in solitary for a week and, if you still haven't learnt your lesson after that, I'm sending you to Blackmoor!"

How could you forget to mention Colleen, Eileen, and Kathleen, OP? Those are classics.

I like those names too! Gorgeous!

It is odd though that every time there are a few threads about certain names being awful - and the Maureens/Doreens have been a recent feature of some of the what names won't come back threads - someone suddenly pops up suggesting an uber version of such names.

Anyway, I'll suggest Ray-Jan (Dutch pronunciation) and Polly-Eurathane (hyphenated yoonique)

Edited

I haven’t seen those threads. To be honest, I only read the threads that interest me.

How about Nyla? It is the first name of a TV character but I like it.

What about Nyree
