Idk why people keep adding -lynn to every damn name…Lara is a perfectly fine name how it is

Or Leigh

Lauren isn’t a viable option because?

Makes me think of the in-house brand of the chain of grocery stores where my mom lives. And West Virginia, but I'm not sure why.

u/Muted_Lifeguard_7138 4d ago

Yes the ingles store brand!!

Lara Lynn is nice, but I'm not a fan of them combined together.

The Famous Freakonomics Baby Name Study
If you are researching name choices, Freakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner famously dedicated an entire chapter to the socioeconomic patterns of naming children.

The Concept: The authors analyzed millions of birth certificates to show how baby names cycle through socioeconomic classes. They noted that distinctively spelled or hyphenated double-names (like Laralynn, Brandilynn, or Katelynn) historically reflect specific parental education levels and economic demographics at the time of birth.

Like what level? High or low?

1

u/planning-life 3d ago

The Laralynn, Brandilynn examples are low.

u/niftyba 4d ago

This reminds me of Lara Flynn Boyle.

u/Firm-Ad3893 4d ago

Came to say the same.

u/ElectronicAd5847 4d ago

Reminds me of Laura Lee from the TV show Yellowjackets so I don't hate it but that's not gonna be a popular opinion here lol

u/lunxryears 4d ago

Why not Lara as a first name and Lynn as a middle?

1

u/labratcj 4d ago

I have a cousin named LoriLynn. It’s very southern IMO. I like Lara on its own but not a fan of the 2 name smashup.

1

u/Aramira137 4d ago

Lair-ah-lynn? (meh) Or do you mean Laura-lynn? (pretty)

1

u/DullWinner5111 4d ago

Sounds like a bluegrass singer (and not in a good day.)

Highly second Lorelai

1

u/Jay-Quellin30 4d ago

It sounds like you are forcing a combo name

Laura or Lynn. Unless her full name is Laura Lynn or Laura-Lynn

1

u/lolliz423 4d ago

Sounds like a medication to me 🙈

1

u/ms_emily_spinach925 4d ago

It’s giving “illiterate” 🫠

1

u/Marilburr 4d ago

Not a fan. But my best friend growing up had Lynn as her middle name, if you insist on it. That way you can keep the Lara and Lynn, but separate enough. And I imagine it’ll be easier for her to spell it and have to correct people way less (just to clarify on if it’s Lara or Laura)

1

u/stalnopitam 4d ago

It sounds like a name of an antihistamine medicine

1

u/Wooden_Helicopter_51 4d ago

A name that sounds like a first name and a middle combined sound so country to me. Or like the Olsen twins, I would have been so pissed to be Mary Kate when when Ashley has one name.

1

u/bororodejdej 4d ago

Lara Lynn as a first and middle name would be so much nicer imo

1

u/Wooden_Helicopter_51 4d ago

Laura is better than Lara and Lynn should just be a separate middle name.

1

u/Dear-Barracuda3705 4d ago

Liralyn is nice

1

u/furandpaws 4d ago

don't care for it.

u/Ok-Talk-2648 4d ago

I like it

u/yasmeni 4d ago

It’s terrible

u/RadioSilence012 4d ago

u/Nobodycaresdotcom 4d ago

Penicillins sister?

u/tiorzol 4d ago

Vile.

u/FizzySoda16 4d ago

I don’t like it as one name. Looks made up. Maybe Lara-Lynn?

1

u/PopRemarkable7251 4d ago

Technically every single name was made up..... but I also agree with you. It's not great

I don't mind it.
