Spell it London but it’s still not great.

I can sort of see the appeal, but the y makes it look misspelled. London is alright, though.

Really bizarre to me as a British person. Londyn doesn’t even sound the same as London in my accent.

Sad. The letter y does not turn a city into a human, or a conurbation into a female. Tweaking the spelling arouses expectations of changed pronunciation - lunDAIN. Better to name a girl Leonard and explain that you pronounce it Annabel - it makes as much sense.

I'm not fond of "randomly replace vowels with y" in general but especially not for a place (or word) name. Then it's just a simple misspelling, and it looks extra dumb. I also don't love London as a name. But Londyn is far, far worse.

Oh! This is a GP of mine, oh no. This spelling. London is out, Londyn is in. Hahaha it's nice discovering dumb things about yourself. I have no idea why I like this name. It has no qualities I normally like.

Although I prefer the name London, I do not see why adding a "y" would be a huge deal. But, he/she would be constantly correcting the spelling of their name.

London is much better. Even though it reminds me of London Tipton not to mention Londyn makes me think if of sort of autocorrect where under it would be red lines.

So fake trendy, I hate it.

No better or worse than plain old London, which isn't even name-like anyway.

He/she would forever be correcting people on the spelling of their name. I'm a firm stickler for the traditional/most popular spellings. As for regular London? Not a huge fan of that either but it's okay I guess.
