Re: Kayla, Kaylee, Kaylin and spelling variations thereof

Lol, no, the meaning doesn't make sense at all - unless it was a very slim lake, hehe. Maybe a lake on a brook which is only just wide enough to be called a lake rather than just part of the brook . . . now I'm just thinking about that *way* too much!I'm not sure whether I found Linneth or just made it up. I used it in a fantasy story when I was in my teens, and I rediscovered it recently and thought "hey, that's actually not bad". It's basically a variation of Lynette, so it has the same meaning of "little lake".

I think that we've effectively over-analyzed this entire Kaylin issue, lol.Well, Linneth is very pretty. I thought it looked like a weird combination of Lynn and Kenneth originally--which would make it "handsome lake" or "lake born of fire". ;) I think "little lake" is a pretty meaning, though. I love water.Array

:-D Oh well, we now know with near certainty what to say the *next* time someone asks about Kaylin!I'm glad you like Linneth - I'd ask you what you think of Jean Elise and Linneth as names for sisters, but we're on the wrong board! :-DLol - a mix of Lynn and Kenneth, now that would be strange!
