I think it would be a bit refreshing to see as a fn, kind of like
Marie. My dad's cousin's name is
Lynn, and had a friend in school named
Lynn, too. On a female I associate it with either of them, so it's not bad. I like it much better on a guy, though. I've known a couple male Lynns, too-- my great-uncle and a guy I went to high school with.
So is
Michelle honoring a
Michael, then? I think
Lynn Michael on a boy would be really nice. Or
Michael Lynn. Whichever.
Helen Kathleen and
Veronica Dianne are both very you. :) Both are sophisticated and have a nice vintage feel. And make me imagine flowing chocolate or something? I can't quite put my finger on it!
