Elin

I love the name [name]Elin[/name], pronounced like [name]Tiger[/name] [name]Wood[/name]'s ex pn it, ee-lynn. I realize there are other ways to pn it, but I like this the best. I think the name is simple, but pretty, and elegant without being flowery. What do you think of the name? [name]Do[/name] you think it will become trendy? Any middle name suggestions?

I like this name. I think it’s very sweet and unlikely to become popular because of the association with [name]Tiger[/name] [name]Wood[/name]'s ex.
For middle names, I like the sound of [name]Elin[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] or [name]Elin[/name] [name]Margo[/name]. I don’t know why but I think it had nice flow.

Thanks for replying- I was afraid I had posted incorrectly. I will add [name]Elin[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] to our short list. I don’t care for [name]Margo[/name], but thank you for the suggestion!

I absolutely love [name]Elin[/name]. We had settled on it for our first daughter, and then stupid [name]Tiger[/name] Woods went and made his wife’s name famous. We decided not to use the name because I had heard it in the punch line of too many jokes. It’s been almost a year since that whole scandal broke, and I’m still hearing [name]Tiger[/name] and [name]Elin[/name] jokes (which amazes me because they were never that funny in the first place). Since I think [name]Elin[/name] Nordegren is the only [name]Elin[/name] many people have heard of (at least where I live), it’s still just too closely associated for me to ever use it. Maybe that’s not as much of an issue for you. If not, I say go for it. It really is a fantastic name apart from the whole celebrity thing.

[name]Love[/name] the name, but would have reservations using it due to the celeb association…I too am sick of all the tiger/elin jokes!

[name]Ah[/name], I think people will get over [name]Elin[/name] Nordegren, or at least she hopes they will! :wink: I think it is a nice spin on the classic [name]Ellen[/name], and it sounds sophisticated and spunky. I’d still use it!

eh, the whole [name]Tiger[/name] Woods thing does not bother me… [name]Elin[/name] was very composed during the whole scandal, and is beautiful… I also love the meaning ( a ray of light). I was thinking of [name]Elin[/name] [name]Grace[/name]- ray of light from the [name]Grace[/name] of God… I think it is very pretty. I am not sure if it will be like one of the celebrity inspired names, and go up in popularity, or if people will tend to shy away from it because of the scandal. It is a name we both loved, and seems to click…
