-leen names seem very retro to me, in a more blowsy than vintage-chic way. Kind of like
Marilou.
I'm surprised that Jayleen charted in the past 15 years rather than in the 1950s. I guess it goes along with the popularity of
Jaylyn. But it seems odd because most of that trend was _ay -in / en / an / yn, and not een. I notice that
Jolene has been charting again too - strange!?
Jayleen sounds pretty twangy to me, and I notice the "jail" in it, just like I do with
Jaylyn.
However I like the
Jay part! I like
Jay on females.
