HelpGlynis
Never seen this name before. She appeared in the England and Wales historical data only once in 1954 at #94. Something similar happened in the United States in 1956 at #976, but then again one short spike from 1963 to peak in 1964 at #596 and then vanish again by 1966.
It seems to have been because of Glynis Johns. I've personally seen her in Mary Poppins (Mrs Banks) and a couple of voice roles.
What do you think of Glynis? And, am I alone in never seeing this name before?

I've seen it in old school records: certainly 1940s there. I quite like it; usually -is names put me right off - Gladys, Janice, Eunice, Doris - but Glynis seems OK on other people's kids. I'd never use it myself, because there are so many names I like better.

I don't really like it, i know a few Glenyse's in their 50s and 60s

I hadn’t heard of it either, it’s pretty nice! I like the ‘glin’ sound, though the ending isn’t my favorite. I like the spelling Glynnis more, but yeah I like it :D

I have known one and she was born in 1958. I used to child mind for her.
I don’t mind the name but wouldn’t use it. I’m in Scotland.

I'm aware of it. In the US, it seems like people were getting tired of Glenda and were also wanting a younger *is sounding name (like Frances, Gladys, Doris, Mavis, Phyllis which were around but not young). And the early 1960s was the height of popularity for Glenn (m) + Lynn was popular, so the spelling makes sense to me.
I sort of like it (more than Lynn, Glenn, Glenda), though it seems a little quaint in an average way. It's not as brassy as Gladys, Doris, Mavis and not as in-your-face "good witch" as Glenda or as soft and classical as Phyllis. It's not as no-nonsense as Frances or Brenda but does seem more magical/whimsical, vaguely like Linda which I do think sounds sweet for a young person.
