HelpRe: Lynn (ETA)
in reply to a message by Lily
Revenge of the filler mns. Love it and love Lynn too. This is my prefered spelling and the one I've most often seen.
I had a friend named Lynn. We were born in the 1960's, if that gives you perspective. I always liked her name because it was so unusual to hear it as a fn. Being an "Ann Marie" myself I noticed early on how fillerish Lynn, Marie and Ann / Anne were. Plus, Lynn has such a lovely soft, easy-going quality to it that I cuold love it for its sound alone. I know another Lynn born in the late 60's.
Finding a mn for Lynn is tricky. It requires the wiring in my brain to re-route. I once came up with Lynn Amanda, but I'm not entirely happy with it. Lynn Tabitha is nice too.
ETA: Reading Llewella's post I can't believe I forgot about Lynn as a boy's name. I love it on a boy too, maybe more so. It never occurred to me until now that two of the few unisex names that I like are Lee and Lynn, both filler mns. Hmm.
