Adelyn ...
in reply to a message by RDNZL
How do any -lyn names, but especially Adelyn / Adalynn etc, seem fresh and young and bright enough for a 2016 baby? After the continuous popularities of fad names like Carolyn and Kaitlyn and Brooklyn? There isn't even a right way to spell Adelyn, just a bunch of approximations. Why not Ada, Adelina, or Adeline instead?

Adeline is becoming trendoid too. It's becoming a "replacement" for Madeline. Adelina is getting trendy too, though I do like it. Ada seems to be making a comeback too...but Ida is still considered old lady.
I seriously can't picture Carolyn on anyone younger than 40.
Strange how no one names their daughters Lynn/Lynne as a first name anymore, but it's become the most generic middle name of all.

My favorite thing about Adelyn is that it's pronounced "add-a-lyn", basically defining the trend of adding a "lyn" to any name to make it "modern" or whatever.
