I like Linda. It is genuinely pretty, and an improvement on Lindsey etc. It would be fun to meet a young one.

Lynda is mindlessly silly.

The Lynda I've met was born in late 1990s. I liked it. The vibe I get from it is something like a combination of Gladys, Rosa, Stephanie. Or I feel like it's glamorous in a very casual understated way? I don't think the Y in it comes across much different than the one in Gwendolyn, Lynette, or Lynn, which are common spellings here.

Linda is a sweet name. Yes, I think it could come back. It's not much different than Lucinda really, which is a favorite of mine. I also like Brenda and Ethelinda, but those are more harsh.

For me myself -- yes. I think it looks like a trendy mess when people replace innocent vowels with a Y. I prefer Linda despite of it being dated, it looks more namey to me.

But if you like the name Lynda, go for it. It's still sounds beautiful.

Have a couple friends with the name Linda, and they are a couple decades apart, so it still gets use. it is attractive and rather charming, but please, no subbing in Ys, looks so silly.

There's a whole episode about a baby named Linda on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. The name is extremely dated and rather harsh-sounding.

Lynda isn't better.

I think that this is a very gorgeous name, personally. Also, I definitely get the appeal of Lynda! Idk why, but I enjoy y’s in names. Another name that I love would be Linden (I find that name unisex).

If I had to choose, I’d want to choose Lynda out of them.
