Help w/ "lynn" names, for girl

We can't come up w/ anything for baby #3!  Not that we aren't agreeing, just that there doesn't seem to be anything that we like that we can actually USE b/c either it's already taken, or there is something too close in our family already.  For example, we have a Bree in our family, so we can't use Brienne, Breanna, Aubree...you get the idea.  And we have quite a few of these issues! LOL  So, we are starting w/ girl names, and Lynn is my middle name as well as being a family middle name, so we thought we would look for something that either begins or ends w/ "lynn" or at least the same sound, so I'd appreciate your help b/c baby name books don't exactly split things this way! ;)  So pls bombard me w/ everything from Linda, to Madeline, to Ashlynn, to Linley that you can think of!!  It will be greatly appreciated b/c next I have to move on to boy names (we are going team green for the first and only time...)

Confused. If you like Aubrey, why couldn't you use it. It's a great name. I also like Madeline!

It would be too hard to have Bree and Aubree in the same room all the time :(  Saying the name out loud to call one of them might get too confusing, etc.

LOL  Just example names, not necessarily anything we are considering, just the first things that came to mind to get each of the sounds/placement I was trying to explain! ;)

I don't think it's as big of a deal as you think. What about all of the families with Srs, Jrs, IIIs...lots of families have family names that get used by multiple family members.

I really dislike the -lynn names. I would just find a cute FN and use Lynn as the MN.

We are also looking for "lynn" names.  Reason being is that I have two middle names honouring both of my grandmothers and would like to carry on the tradition. However, growing up having two middle names has been a pain in the butt when it comes to paper work, driver's licenses etc, and I don't want my child to have the same issues.  The middle names would be Linda and Karen, so I've decided choosing a name that ends with "Lyn" would help carry on the tradition without having two middle names. 

The ones I really like are Gracelyn, Madilyn and Jocelyn.  My husband and I both really like Gracelyn so I think it's our top contender for now (especially because it's pretty much the ONLY name that we both like since we seem to have completely different styles).  I also love it because I've never heard it in our area and it's not too far "out there" in terms of being different.  

Good luck with your list!! Our boy list has also been a bit more challenging! :)

This is actually why I don't want to do this, b/c we already have several Jr/Sr's and it's WAY too confusing.  In addition, we have a Breanna as well, so three "Bree's" is just too hard...

This is kinda how we ended up here too, wanting to carry on multiple family names (we have another in mind for middle name w/ the -Lynn thing too!)  Karen would be really easy for you too if u couldn't find anything for a FN w/ Lynn either, b/c anything that has the 'care' sound in it could be useful, and there are even more of those than Lynn ones for FN's I think!  Good luck! ;) We are starting on boys names this wk just in case this baby decides to try to come early like my last one as well so fingers crossed! :D

anvloves and kayjay (and to the ladies who aren't keen on the -lynn idea!)- thanks for the Brynn idea, we might just go w/ it!

I'd heard it before but hadn't remembered, and it's got just enough of the 'bree' part in it that we love, and the hint of the 'lynn' w/out being the whole thing that it could be perfect (plus DH and I kinda agree on it! lol)

What do u ladies think, is it far enough from Bree and Brianna that if we call in a crowded house it won't be too confusing?? (come to think of it, we have a Bryan too, oh no!)
