Comments for the name Lyn

Lyn Cote is a Christian author.

Lynlee is also very pretty.

I've also seen this used as a short form of Carolyn.

This makes a great middle name. Much better than Lynn. I think the double N is way too much.

Lyn is the Norwegian word for "lightning".

I prefer this spelling over any of the others, like Lynn. I am not a big fan of this name as a first name - it is too short, it doesn't have nicknames or variants - but I love this as a middle name, since it goes along with almost any female first name.

This can also be a nickname for masculine names beginning with or ending with "Lyn."

My favorite spelling of the name. "Lynn" seems boring and "Lynne" is just overkill.

This is the middle name of the late rock singer, Janis Joplin.

I'm honestly sick of seeing this name. It needs to be given a LONG rest.
