How would you spell it?

Question

Hi!
I love the name Linley! I am struggling with spelling. I want it to be easy for people to spell, but also love Lynnley. I just think most people would not spell it that way at first. Linley seems most common? Wanted to see what you all thought. Thank you so much!

Answer

My name is technically phonetic, Karisa, but no one ever spells it or pronounces it right. It doesn't bother me though I joke I respond to anything that sounds like it (Clarissa, Krista). In the end, people spell John incorrectly, so you can only do so much.

Answer

I voted Linley, but I like them all. Lynley would be my second choice.

Answer

I think she'll get called Lindsey a lot because it sounds close. I had a hard-to spell last name before getting married and you do get used to spelling it out all the time, but it's still annoying for others who would mess up my email address or couldn't find me online  So simple and straightforward better IMO!

Answer

If we have a girl we are naming her Lynlee!!

Answer

Everyone skips an N on my name. Or calls me Ashley, but that’s a whole other basket I won’t get into. Anyway, as someone who’s spent a lifetime correcting how my name is spelled to people, I can promise you it’s no big deal. I don’t mind it. It only takes once, then they get it right every time after that. So if you like it Lynnley, do it that way. It won’t be a big deal. And it’s easy to pronounce correctly spelled that way.
