HelpRe: Opions on name Oaklynn?
in reply to a message by Pavel
Oaklynn and Oakley are both pretty unpopular with people on the forum, but in the "real world" they are liked by plenty of people.
I'm not sure where the Oak- trend came from. Maybe it started with people using the Oakley surname, which is famous in North America because of Annie Oakley. And I guess it was an easy transition to turn -ley into -lynn. Maybe Oaklynn gets judgement because it's like a double-trendy name; it's based on a surname AND it's part of the -lynn trend, which a lot of people are really tired of.
I kinda like Oakley and Oaklynn as guilty pleasures. They are hokey and ugly, but I find that endearing. I have a soft spot for them. I find them impossible to combo, though. Everything just looks wrong to me.
