Marilyn
in reply to a message by RDNZL
I just like it, always have, even before I had any idea who made the name so famous. It seems like many of the people who like Marilyn do so because of Marilyn Monroe. The same seems to be true for people who don't like the name. Any time I include Marilyn in my polls, it usually comes in dead last.

I like Marilyn too.

It's one of the few -lyn names I like. I think it's a couple orders of magnitude better than Monroe. It's dated style, but I can totally picture it on a youth anyway. It's like Margot.

For some reason I also think it's really pretty, but if you break it down it's really old fashioned stylistically and phonetically.

It's not one of my favorites, but I think it's an okay name. Compared to other -lyn names, I like it more than Evelyn / Carolyn / Adelyn / Katelyn / Madelyn and less than Jocelyn / Gwendolyn / Rosalyn.

I really like it. I do think it's heavily associated with Marilyn Monroe, but I don't think that's inherently a bad thing.
