[Opinions] Re: Lenlynn & Lennin
in reply to a message by Joiya
I certainly hope those parents who named their son Lennin know about Lenin. I keep imagining mum and dad discussing names and trying to "invent" a new name and both being very pleased with their Lennin-creation without realising how strongly this will be associated with Lenin. Or maybe they are just fans of Lenin...Lenlynn is unpleasant and yes, not that easy to say. I think that little girl better get used to people not knowing how to pronounce her name.

but she wants to be sure 'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings

I think Lennin is a respelling of Lennon for the parents, with no regard for Lenin. Knowing the parents, I can't imagine they based it on Soviet history.
