I prefer Glen, but the name itself makes me think of Quagmire from Family Guy and of Crake from Margaret Atwood's "Oryx and Crake." Not the best associations!

I think Glenn is the better spelling.
Although, as a general rule I don't prefer unnecessary syllables.

---

I can't think of the name Glenn without thinking of Glenn Beck.
That just completely ruins the name for me; however, if it doesn't for you, then it's not a bad sounding name!

IMO, I see Glen as a male name, and Glenn as more of a female name. Kind of like Bryn and Brynn.

---

I like Glenn on a girl, but Glen on a boy reminds me of a sleazy '80s Wall Street broker.

My dear friend just named her son Glenn ( he is 3 weeks old). I believe he is Glenn William.

I like Glenn. Reminds me of the forest and of John Glenn.

One word: Beck! That's the only Glenn I really care about!

I like it, and I was going to say I liked Glen a little better until Flare mentioned Glen Beck >:(
I mainly liked Glen because it seems more naturey than Glenn, in the way that Lily is more naturey than Lilly. But I just looked it up and apparently the word glenn was an earlier form of the word glen, so it works.
It is a bit of an old man name, but it is also very outdoorsy.
I think I like Glenna a little better than Glenn, but it's also harder to picture on a young kid.

I also have 2 reactions:

---

1. Chrono Trigger (one of my favorite games)
2. Glen Beck (NOOOOO)

---

Actually, I don't know whether the latter has 1 N or 2. I do like the name, though... I just have to make myself forget Beck exists.

I've always kind of liked it. It's one of my great-uncle's names. I know it could be a naturey name, but I don't think of it that way. It does have a strong outdoorsy feel that I love, though. I don't think it seems like an old man name. I don't think it feels dated at all. I've known at least one Glenn my age, too, so maybe that helps. I much prefer Glenn to Glen. One n looks incomplete to me.

---

Do you want Glenn combos? I want to go make some, I can post them if you'd like.

---

I don't really like Len. It makes me think of Final Fantasy X-2. It would be a fine nn though for Leonard or something.

---

I also like Glenna. I think it's sweet.
