It makes me think of Oakland, especially that "LA face with the Oakland booty" line from Sir Mix-a-Lot's Baby Got Back. Definitely not something I'd want to call a kid.
In 2020, 516 girls and 38 boys in the US were named Oaklyn. The name ranked at #566 for girls, but did not rank for boys. It peaked in 2018 at #493, when 630 girls were named Oaklyn.
Oaklyn is nice name. I do prefer Oakley, but this name is good too. I can see it for a boy, not just a girl. Evelyn was once a male given name, so why not Oaklyn? Sure it's trendy, but there isn't anything wrong with a trendy name! If you like this name, give it to your child. You don't have to agree with my opinion though. :)
It just looks like a combination of the word “oak”, the *trendeigh* suffix “-Lyn”. Why not just give your child a nice, classic name like Elizabeth or Victoria? ~ my opinion~
Oaklyn is very trendy at the moment and it is a made up name. I don’t understand why people name their babies this. People are also starting to use this as a boy’s name as well. Oakley is a better name. This name reminds me of oat milk.
Surprised this is on the lowest rated names list considering how popular it's getting these days. Anyway, Oakley is cute, not too fond of Oaklyn; I like it with 2 n's though I don't like it that much anyway. Sounds like a name a younger mother would give.
