Sorry, but I don't like it at all. Way too trendy and too much "y". Skye is so much prettier.

I like the sound alright, but I don't like all the y's and n's. Skylin would be better, I think. Skylinn even. Skylinne? Nah, looks too much like "skyline". Anyway, I like the sound of Sky + lynn, but I really don't like the spelling. I don't like "lynn" in general (I always want to change it to lin or lyn). But in this case, Skylyn also looks weird because of the y's. I think Skylin is probably the best option.

There are too many y's in it for me. I think that Sky(e) or Skyla would be better alternatives.

Why would anyone want to go by either the over-ambitious Sky or the flat and dated Lynn? It is actually worse than Skylar, which has an interesting origin though the spelling tries to conceal it. Skylynn might work for a character in an animated cartoon, but really not in real life.

I don't like it. There is something about the -lynn ending that is just so overdone. Its like people are adding -lynn or -lyn to everything nowadays. To top it off, I don't even like Lynn on its own.

I don't mind Skye, though I would never use it personally. I also like Skyla. Skyler is a boys name and has always been to me (comes from Schuyler).

Skye is nice, and Lynn is nice, but Skylynn looks like it's pronounced skill-lin, and resembles just another trendy name with lynn tagged on the end. It's not distinctive, you know? It's not ugly at all, it's rather pretty - but it doesn't have any sparkle for me that Skye itself doesn't have more of. I could endorse Skye Lynn as a double name or hyphenated name.

To be honest, I don't really like it and it's definitely not my style...if I could be said to have a style of names! I think Lynn is very pretty as a middle name, but I can not fall in love with Sky or any version of it...it sort of sounds like a hippie name, IMO:)
I think I would maybe stick with something you like and have liked for a long time, just so that later on you don't maybe regret giving into pregnancy hormones:) lol

I dint like it. I love Skye though, that's what I named my daughter.

Not really my type of name. The nicknames are good, but the spelling trips me up a lot. Why not Skylin? Or Sky-Lynn? Skylynn sort of trips me up, and it almost looks like Skinning (Skynyng/Skyning, rather) to me. |D; I'm also not too fond of trendier names, and even though it isn't a common one out there, it defiantly has the sound aspects of really popular ones.

That said, if you really like this name go for it - though I'd wait on the name for awhile and see how it also feels down the line, too.

It's not awful by any means, but while it may not be on the official popularity charts, it is not at all fresh or surprising. It fits right in with Ashlyn, Kaelyn, Jaylyn, and Gracelyn.

I have always had a soft spot for the name Sky for a girl. I just like the vibe I get from it. Skylynn on the other hand is a trendy blending of names that will not age well at all imo. I really don't get the appeal, sorry.

I thought you didn't like made-up names?
