HelpRe: Zaelyn Journey
in reply to a message by 25vbrandeberry
With all due respect, I like the -Aden trend a lot more than the -Lyn trend, although I don't necessarily like either. They produce good names, but I don't like all of them.
Zaelyn and Journey together are too modern for my taste, as if the parents tried a bit too hard to be unique. Journey has gained popularity in the States, but I'll give them credit for Zaelyn: it is submitted on this site as rare.
And I won't lie, I read Zaelyn Journey and thought that this was about a boy, despite Journey being listed as feminine. Both names sound unisex to me. Journey sounds like Jeremy, where I'm from. And the Zay part in Zaelyn sounds more boyish than it sounds girly.

I agree the -lyn trend is way too out of hand, lyn is better as a middle name anyway! I love modern names, but you are right about it being too modern

Ashlyn, Pailyn, Braelyn, Raelyn, Kaylyn, Jaylyn.
I like some of those names, but I'd be lying if I said that they weren't inside of a painful loop. I prefer them spelled with -Lin or -Len. It looks a bit less trendy. People have been feminizing names with -Lee and -Lyn for awhile, so the unisex names with those endings are beginning to look feminine to me.

so true, my nephew has a -lyn name and the moment I saw it, I was thinking it was a girl name, it's becoming way too much for me:)
