Help[Opinions] Lakelyn (and Water names poll)
Walking down the street, I saw a little girl and her mother walking around. The girl was getting a little far ahead and the mother called out "Lakelyn". Maybe its spelled different, but thats how it was pronounced.
Bodies of water are a great think in my life, so I dont really hate it. But I am not sure if I like it. What do you guys think? Is it right for a girl or is it more boy-ish?
Also: If you HAD to choose a body of water for a childs FIRST name, what would you choose as a combo. You could do something as Lakelyn and make it more than just Lake, but Lake has to be pronounced. If you did that, would you use Lake as a nn?
(I know River is very common, so try to be more creative!)

I like Lake as a middle name, for either gender.

Lake sounds unisex as far as I'm concerned; I'd err slightly towards using it on a male. It's not bad; I would use it before I used Laken. I'd feel a bit unlike myself, addressing my own child as Lake, so it's not my style. Lake is just a modern wordname with a nice image to me; Laken to me is weird nonsense like Jaden, although not so weird I couldn't get used to it.
Lakelyn sounds to me like an alteration of Lachlan, but I guess it doesn't have to be. I like Lachlan too.
