Re: Peterlin
I've never understood the -lynn trend with baby names recently. I don't love adding it to names that already have that sound , but to names like Peter?That just looks like it's been tossed there by someone who wanted an "original"name but didn't want to do the work. I'm sorry to be such a hater but Peterlin is just a plain ugly name.

It's not a recent trend, it's been around for a while, ie Marilyn.It's also used to 'feminize' male names to honor male family members. I know a Webblyn. I suspect that's the case of Peterlin.

They didn’t say it was a recent trend…?
"I've never understood the -lynn trend with baby names recently." direct quote from the post.
Yes but they never said it was exclusive to recent times. It has made a resurgence in trends recently. Your response comes off as rude and unwarranted and for what reason?
