It's ok. It doesn't coincide much with
Lynn or
Fern in my head -
Lynn is a common element in feminine names, and
Fern is more obviously a nature name - I think of
Flannery and
Quinn as similar before those.
I probably mostly associate "fling" like mirfak metioned but don't think of romance. I think of the action of flinging, which implies force and intent to me; it's not just a toss, but it's still a throw away. When I relate this to personal qualities, I think: plucky, hard luck. I could vaguely associate American literature because of
Flannery O'Conner and
Huckleberry Finn, plus
Quinn as feminine reminds me of characters who were popular and successful. I've seen the name
Errol Flynn before but don't know anything about him.
