A nn for Jaelyn would be "Jae" I would think. Jaylee and Jayla are most like entirely new names instead of nn...JMHO! :-)

how about just jae or lyn? all the others are 2 sylabbles so you might as well either do jaelyn itself or cut it to 1.

I would either go with Jay or Lynn.


Jaylee and Jayla both have 2 syllables, and so does the FULL name of Jaelyn. A lot of times, the nn is just a shortened version of the fn, but to use either Jaylee or Jayla doesn't shorten the name at all. It just changes it, which to me, kind of takes away the point of having a nn in the first place.


Don't get me wrong, both choices are cute(!)-- I just dont' think you need to use either one as a nn. If really like one of those names, why don't you just choose that as the full first name? Neither one SOUNDS too "nicknamish". (For example using "Liz" as a fn instead of a nn seems weird...see what I mean?)


:-)


Best of luck to you!

Personally I wouldn't call her Jaylee because I know a Jaylee (not a nickname). I would call her Jae.

Hopefully that helps!

lol...oops, sorry to have echoed the sentiments of the posters before me, but I typically post before reading through the thread so I give an uninfluenced opinion. :-)

I wouldn't give a nn but if I HAD to it would just be Jay.

what is the point? you don't need a nickname for a 2 syllable name! anyway nicknames usually come on their own after baby is born.
