I prefer Jacqueline. Jackie is fine as a nn. I typically don't like names ending in -lyn. Jackie Kennedy gave the name it's flair and classiness and any other spelling just won't do, IMO.

I have a thing for 'lyn' names too. 'Line' is so ambiguous when you're trying to pronounce a name. It can be sounded "lin", "leen" or "line" which I find pretty irksome.

I think Jacquelyn is a nice spelling, but the name itself is very dull imo.

I like Jacqueline better, but that's because I pronunce it the French way.

---

I like the name, but that's only because one of my favourite TV characters was a Jacqueline "Jax" Duffy and I thought she was brilliant. I also like Jacque and Jacksie as nicknames; Jacqui and Jacey look trendy and silly to me.

Hmm, I'm a Jaclyn so I don't mind that Jacquelyn spelling. However, to me it looks like someone couldn't decide between Jacqueline or Jaclyn, so I'd go with one or the other not some hybrid form.

I prefer either Jacqueline or Jaclyn

---

Either the real authentic French spelling Jacqueline or a simplified, Americanized Jaclyn or Jacklyn. Jacquelyn is neither here nor there.

---

I like the name but I would not use it myself, the K-sound in the middle sounds a bit harsh and I prefer softer names.

It's very nice :). My best friend's favorite combo is Jaqueline Rose, Jaqueline after her grandmother.

I know a Jacqueline that goes by the nickname Jackie.

---

This name is slightly hard to say. Ja-que-lyn. Or some people might say Jac-lin.

---

I like it, though don't like the nickname Jackie.

---

This name has always reminded me of the name of the flower, Jonquil, for some reason. I have no idea why.

---

I like the lyn at the end instead if line.

---

I like the name Jacquelyn especially this spelling. I prefer it NOT to have a nn. :)

I've really begun to like it, esp with the nn Jack. It's on my list of maybes for dh to approve of (if he ever gets around to it, lol.)

I love Jacqueline. I'm a snob, so only the classic spellings do it for me.

But nns are another matter. That's the place for whimsy and creativity, to me. Jacqui or Jacey would be cute. :-)
