Thoughts on Ethlyn

Sounds like gasoline

Terrible. What about Evelyn?

[Anonymous]

I know it’s an old name but because the “lyn” is so very, very popular in certain circles, it reads as invented.

How about Gary Anne?

No, I like Ethel. I think it's the y.

How about Bethlyn?

You need another vowel.

I like Evelyn a lot and Ethel enough; Ethlyn does read like a kr8tive combo attempt of the two.

[Anonymous]

I'd never heard of it before and probably wouldn't use it myself, but if you love it, OP, go for it!

I would sooner do Ethel Lynn so she has a choice as she grows about going by Ethel Lynn, Ethel, E. Lynn, Ellen, etc.

+1 Either that or someone with a speech impediment trying to say one of those names. Keep looking OP.

Just do ELLEN for the love of god.

+1 In fact, I think DCUM will decree that Larla just had a baby sister! It's just *that* bad of a name
I intend to use it in stories when we need more names than Larla and Larlo

Yes please. Larla is so tired. Let’s pick on baby sister Ethlyn for a bit.

or Aethlwynn

OP, I liked it in the context of an old english name, but other posters are right, that it's got too many modern connotations now.

Absolutely hideous (and I like most names).
