HelpRe: Glynis
in reply to a message by ✧･ﾟ: *Magpie*:･ﾟ✧
I'm aware of it. In the US, it seems like people were getting tired of Glenda and were also wanting a younger *is sounding name (like Frances, Gladys, Doris, Mavis, Phyllis which were around but not young). And the early 1960s was the height of popularity for Glenn (m) + Lynn was popular, so the spelling makes sense to me.
I sort of like it (more than Lynn, Glenn, Glenda), though it seems a little quaint in an average way. It's not as brassy as Gladys, Doris, Mavis and not as in-your-face "good witch" as Glenda or as soft and classical as Phyllis. It's not as no-nonsense as Frances or Brenda but does seem more magical/whimsical, vaguely like Linda which I do think sounds sweet for a young person.
