I’m debating naming my child after a person who was very close to me. I’m looking for names that honor this in some way, any gender. Thanks! 
Apart from any -Lyn ending name, I think [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] could be sweet for girls.

I think you could go a few ways:
You could have Lynn or Lyn in the name; Lin (the sound) in the name; and/or connect to the meaning, Lake, in some way.
Some egs:
Word
Rosalynn or Rosalyn (I’ll put single n but you could put double as full honour)
Adalyn
Brooklyn (for boy too)
Caitlyn
Gwendolyn
Evelyn
Carolyn
Lynette
You could also hyphenate
Mary-Lynne
Romy-Lynne
Clara-Lynne
Maggie-Lynne
Sound
Lindsey
Rosalind
Linda
Linnea
Linden
Madeleine
Meaning (a name related to water)
Avonlea
Dylan

Rafferty
Maree
Tarni
Wade
Yarrow
Talcott
Tallulah

Bay
Locklyn/Lachlin (covers both!)
Calder
Brooke
Brooks
