Do you mamas like the name my SO's oldest daughter picked out for our new baby.(Colynn) I picked out Elecia for middle name.

Question

Accepted Answer

I think of colon...

Answer

I’m not too sure how you pronounce that? I read it as Colin?

Answer

Ok so finding out that the baby is a girl I actually kind of find it interesting (in a good way). BUT.... don’t spell it colynn. I think you need to do Colin or Collin (if Colin is too masculine). There’s just something about putting co in front of Lynn that makes the eye read it like colon. And you don’t want to set her up with that. Maybe even Collyn would be better?

Answer

As in Colin?
A middle aged mans name?

Answer

Answer

My husband's cousins daughter's name is Colynns

Answer

It looks like it’s pronounced “colon” 😅 maybe have two L’s?

Answer

If you don’t want it pronounced with a long o (like colon) you should put a second consonant after the o (like two l’s instead of one). English has a lot of crazy exceptions to its rules,  but her name doesn’t have to be one of them 😊 My preference is to spell names how they are traditionally spelled, though.
