The Gentry were the upperclass citizens of colonial America.

I'll be polite.

I think you need to look up the meaning of Gentry. Second: Ham is not something nice to have in one's name, and lyn is quite feminine.

I hate Gentry on a boy or a girl. I have never seen Hamlyn before, but I like it. I t reminds me of William Shakespeare's son, Hamnet. I like Hamnet or Hamlet, also.

What would Gentry's mn be, Proletariat? Aristocracy? Peasantry? Bourgeoisie?

Sorry to be snide, but I just can't take Gentry seriously as a name. I went to college with a Gentry, a girl, and I thought it was a silly name then.

Hamlyn has the trendy "y" that irritates me. But what I don't like about it more is that it reminds me of that children's tale, "The Pied Piper of Hamelin." Creepy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pied_Piper

I like unusual names too. Just not these.

Well, Hamlyn looks feminine to me because of the y. Both sound like surnames, and I definately don't like the ham sound. I dislike both names, but Gentry doesn't bother me quite as bad as Hamlyn.

Sounds like a country music duo :-/

The only Gentry I have known was a girl. I think it could work for both genders. Is Hamlyn prn. like "ham" or "haym"? The ham sound bothers me.
