Help[Opinions] Re: Carlyn
in reply to a message by as
It's a name that's not really my style either yet I somehow like it and really it's because my mom's maiden name is Carlin. So I was thinking of a way to make it look a bit more feminine-just an idea. I don't think I would use it anyway but it would be a nice way of honoring her last name-esp. since she had no brothers to carry on the name-just sisters.
Thought you guys would laugh to see that Carlyn actually CAN age pretty well! Look at this web page I found-a promoter of the United Nations born in 1904! Interesting, hmmm?:

Well, you've convinced me that you're not a total tryndee. ;-)
But I don't think the letter Y magically makes masculine names "feminine". Arbitrarily adding a Y to a masculine name usually just results in the name looking misspelled to me, not "feminine".
Now, Carlina or Carline does look and sound feminine to me. The former could be pronounced KAHR-lin-a, kahr-LIN-a, KAHR-leen-a, or kahr-LEEN-a (I would go with the first or last one); the latter could be pronounced kahr-LEEN or kahr-LIEN.
