Lynette

I really don’t like this name. I used to have it but spelled with an I instead of y. I ended up changing it, feel sorry for my mom because she loved it.

Lovely name, I want to hear it more often!

Unpopular opinion: The first half of the name is quite dull and the '-ette' part really doesn't add on to it. It has no life to it. To me it just sounds boring and grey, and it sounds a little like lint. I don't like it.

Lynette is a very charming and interesting name. I think that it deserves more recognition.

It's beautiful and wonderful! Love it!

I really like this name. I think it is one of the prettiest there is.

Looks kind of tacky.

I was named Lynette because my father was named Arthur. My parents apparently liked the King Arthur association. I am nearing my 59th birthday. I always liked my name. It does get mispronounced and misspelled, but that never phased me. It is unique and special. I never wanted to be called Lynn or Nettie as some people tried to do. I never shared my name with anyone in my school days or at work. I hope I inspire someone to name their daughter Lynette.

This is a beautiful name.

So, this is my name. Interesting comments. I came to dislike it in high school and I am just now (eons later) trying to get around my distaste for the sound. My mother liked it! And my dad used to call me his singing bird of India (linnet). I like to think of it as little lyn, which is something like a river or a waterfall - as in Brooklyn.

This is the name of my great-grandmother. She was born in the 1920s, so her name was pretty uncommon when she was born. (Lynette was the middle name of her aunt if I recall correctly.) Throughout her life she was a down-to-earth, extroverted, and caring person. So even though this name may be somewhat dated nowadays, it leaves a good impression on me.

Really pretty, but really uncommon. Sad.

Dear... People,
I am sorry but I really don't like this name too much.
I really don't like Lyn or Lynn alone, but with -ette added I really just don't like it... Once again, I apologize. I AM GIVING MY OPINION, so don't badmouth me...

I like it. Not trendy, but pretty and simple. I also love the poetry of Tennyson, and he used this name in a famous long poem of his.

I think Lynette is a nice change from Lynn(e). It has more personality than Lynn(e) so I think it could be used as a first name or middle name.

I have also seen a variant, Lynetta.

It is pretty! I like it lots! :)

Lynette is such a pretty name. Not overly used which is nice.
