Sorry for all the posts. I am in a questionable mood haha. Lynn is my mn and I plan on using it or a form of it for a future daughter.

I know that Lynn is known to be fillerish. Aside from that though, do you like the name in general? Even if it were used as a first name instead of a fillerish name.

I really do like it. But I realize how common and fillerish it does sound. So I just wanted some other opinions.

So do you like the name Lynn?

Are there any variants of the name Lynn that you prefer?

Thanks!

I like Lynn, always have. It's a good first name. It's sort of a golden, shiny name, to me.

I don't really like Lynn. I don't like the way it looks but I'm all for honouring. I think Linn is much prettier (although it is not really a variant of Lynn). I just feel like all the trendy names have Ys in them and I'm so sick of it and Linn would still be pronounced like Lynn.

I don't really like it on a girl, but I do like it on a boy (mostly as a nickname). It is very fillerish as a middle name, but if it's after you and your mother, then it wouldn't bother me. Then it actually has meaning and doesn't seem like it was just something the parents put there because they couldn't think of anything more creative.

I like Lynn the way it is and prefer it as a middle name. I think if you're worried about the fillerness of it, I'd pair it with another middle name like you did with Talia Lynn May, which is cute. Lynn is my sister's middle name.
