[Opinions] Re: WDYTO the name Ailyn (its pronounced like Eileen)?
in reply to a message by Jackie
Well, I adore the name Eileen.
I looked up Ailyn in my baby name book, From Aaron to Zoe. A lot of these books are very suspect on etymology, but this one is pretty good. It doesn't list Ailyn, but it does list Ailinn as a Portuguese variant of Helen (as is Eileen). I must say the Ailinn spelling looks much better to my eyes than Ailyn.
Do you know anyone who spells it Ailyn? It *looks* creative.
