Help[Opinions] Re: Emmalyn
in reply to a message by Jae
To me, it looks like a pathetic attempt to "unique-ify" the popular (but very old and very classic) Emma by adding the uber-trendy, very modern, quite meaningless suffix -lyn.
Emma's strong, beautiful, and mature. But Emmalyn's insipid, childish, and insubstantial imo.

Actually, Llyn in Welsh is lake, from which we get our "Lyn", so Emmalyn could mean "universal lake". :-P
I personally think the -lyn makes an improvement.

Yes, but...
Ninety-nine percent of people who tack -lyn onto a pre-existing name have no idea Lyn can come from Welsh llyn. I bet they usually think it just sounds pretty, nothing more. Or, if they do think it means something, they think it means "beautiful" or something ridiculously false like that.
