I know a Jacklynn, named for her dad (Jack) and uncle (Lynn).
Probably will spend her entire life correcting people who try to spell it with a Q

What I got from this story is that there is a man named Lynn. Is Lynn a masculine name where you live ?

The dates on the posts change from November to September and back.

That's because post 4 was the original suggestion. Post 5 was someone's reaction to the original suggestion (having known that that one was the winner, because it's number 77). Post 6 is the proof. And posts 1-3 are reactions to another post which also happened to end in 77, but was posted after the winner.

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
It's not pronounced remotely like how it looks, but "Bich Nga" can't have been the easiest first name to grow up with.

Yep, my best friend's dad's name is Lynn (born in the 40s as well). It's not common anymore as a male name, but I've seen it a few times among older men.

My dentist's first name is Lynn and he's probably in his mid-to-late 60s. I guess it must've been a popular name back then.

Speaking of which, Ice-T's real name is Tracy Lauren Morrow. That guy had no choice but to get hard as gently caress.

There are a few people at my school with some just awful names. A few examples being Karlanna (yes, you might think it's pronounced "kar-lah-nah", but it's actually pronounced "kar-lay-nah" for reasons beyond my comprehensive abilities), Tareek, and Tylend.

Does it rhyme with 'Eric', or....?

Also, on some game show the other day was a De'Marcus and his wife Glynnetta.

It sounds like TAH-riq, last syllable mostly like the -ric in Eric.

I don't mean to come off as racist, because that's apparently easy to do in these threads, but let's just say he isn't Arabic. So either his parents really appreciate the rich culture of the Middle East or they just thought it would make their unimportant child significantly more important.

"Wanda'Ful"

"No, Wanda'Ful"

"Wonderful"

"No, Wanda'Ful. Like Wanda & full"

Her name was truly Wanda'Ful. Her initials were "WWW"
