ArchivesRe: Kayla, Kaylee, Kaylin and spelling variations thereof
in reply to a message by Array
Eek, I've never seen Kimberlin! That's stretching the 'lyn' thing TOO far IMO!
I agree, it's either Kay + Lyn or Kaylee which has been "lynified" lol

I've seen Kimberlin, alas. It pains me a lot. Really ugly. I love the name Lynn, but I hate seeing it tacked onto other names. Especially when it's Amylynn. That hurts, my friend. It really hurts.
Back vaguely on topic, now that we've decided what Kaylin probably has come from, it could have any of these meanings:
Slender lake
Each of the two lake(s?)
Torture lake
My consecration of your name lake
I think I like "torture lake" best. But then, we could get really picky about what the "lin" in it means, and then we'd have lots more to choose from.

I love the name Lynn, and its variants - you might have seen my Linneth / Lynneth polls & posts a while back? :-)
Anyways . . . I think 'slender lake' would come closest, as the bit of "Kayley" that meant 'slender' was the "Kayl" bit, and it seems the most likely of the meanings.
. . . there's other meanings for Lynn? Oh, no! :-D

I don't check out the polls, unfortunately, heh. Linneth is interesting, though--where'd you find it? I've never seen it before.
"Slender lake" would probably be right, but it just sounds...weird. The meaning makes no sense, heh.

Lol, no, the meaning doesn't make sense at all - unless it was a very slim lake, hehe. Maybe a lake on a brook which is only just wide enough to be called a lake rather than just part of the brook . . . now I'm just thinking about that *way* too much!
I'm not sure whether I found Linneth or just made it up. I used it in a fantasy story when I was in my teens, and I rediscovered it recently and thought "hey, that's actually not bad". It's basically a variation of Lynette, so it has the same meaning of "little lake".

I think that we've effectively over-analyzed this entire Kaylin issue, lol.
Well, Linneth is very pretty. I thought it looked like a weird combination of Lynn and Kenneth originally--which would make it "handsome lake" or "lake born of fire". ;) I think "little lake" is a pretty meaning, though. I love water.
