What do you think of the names Laykin or Landree([name]Landry[/name])?
I like the spelling [name]Laken[/name] only. :).
I like Laykin, but I think I would like Lakyn or Layken or Leykin better. I don’t really like Landree/[name]Landry[/name] because it sounds too much like Laundry.
I don’t like either one. What about just [name]Lake[/name]? Or [name]Lark[/name]?
Can I be frank? Laykin and Landree look like someone has pulled Scrabble tiles out of the bag to come up with a name.
[name]Laken[/name] is OK, but Laykin isn’t.
And I agree with ‘lizzard’, [name]Landry[/name] makes me think of laundry.
I prefer [name]Laken[/name] (this spelling only) over [name]Landry[/name] (this spelling only).
The other two are too trendy to me.
I have to agree w/ maggiemary. Laykin and Landree both strike me as made-up sounding. Not trying to offend, but since you asked for opinions, that’s my honest answer.
I really dislike both of them.
Neither name is my style but I prefer the [name]Laken[/name] and [name]Landry[/name] spellings.
I think [name]Landry[/name] (this spelling only) is fine thought there could be laundry issues with it. I personally despise [name]Laken[/name] and all spelling variations! If you are trying to be different I would go with [name]Landry[/name]. I know at least 10 [name]Laken[/name]/Laykin/Laikon/Lakyns I think all the spelling variations make it seem less popular than it really is.
They are both at least mildly awful. [name]Landry[/name] is masculine and looks a heck of a lot like laundry. Lakyn is just…very, very ugly. [name]Don[/name]'t screw with spellings, though, really, it looks illiterate (even if you aren’t) and juvenile. [name]Laken[/name] and [name]Landry[/name] is you must.
I was going to agree with PP that I prefer the more established spellings of [name]Laken[/name] and [name]Landry[/name], but then I realized you’re asking about girls’ names. Despite the more feminized spellings, Laykin and Landree both skew very masculine for me, and as someone who hated my cross-gender name, I would suggest something more feminine or more true unisex (it’s no fun to be mistaken for a boy!). Some alternatives you may like:

[name]Laney[/name]
[name]Larkin[/name]

[name]London[/name]
[name]Lorca[/name]
[name]Lux[/name]
[name]Lyric[/name]
Good luck with your search
Ditto…
Changing the spelling of masculine names or of surnames doesn’t make them more feminine, it just makes them look misspelled and trendy. That is one bandwagon I would steer clear of.
Stick with [name]Laken[/name] or [name]Landry[/name] if you those are the names you love.
Laykin reminds me of [name]Clay[/name] [name]Aiken[/name]…and I agree with a previous poster that Landree is much too similar to laundry. Eek.
I completely agree.
I agree with everyone else. There are so many beautiful girls names out there. These are both so masculine and aren’t girl-like at all. [name]Landry[/name] reminds me of laundry and/or the resteraunt landries. [name]Laken[/name]/Laykin — it’s just not very good for a girl, [name]IMO[/name].
I really dislike both- they’re masculine, and I have to agree with the previous posters who stated that Landree/[name]Landry[/name] sound like laundry. @southern.maple’s suggestions of [name]Lake[/name] and [name]Lark[/name] are good. [name]Just[/name] no to Laykin and Landree.
No to both. Laykin’s just kind of weird…It reminds me of lycans…And then [name]Landry[/name] reminds me of Laundry. So nope nope nope.
Really dislike!
