Another vote for Octalyn but full name Octavia Lynn, Octalyn for short.

I have never heard it before, so based on the sound it doesn't strike me as "old fashioned," it strikes me as taking an actual old fashioned name (Ethel) and trying to modernize it with the overpopular "-lyn" suffix.

If a boy, go with Ethanol. More unique than Ethan.

Alternatives:

Methlyn
Propalyn
Butalyn
Pentalyn
Hexlyn

Then there’s the ever popular Octalyn.

Do you like it as a baby name or too old-fashioned or weird?

I came across this old name (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethlyn_T._Clough for example). Thoughts?
