I love my name. I don't want it to become overly popular. I have never met another Jaclyn and I like it like that because it feels more unique and individual to me. I have never seen or heard about another Jaclyn in my country (Australia) only from other countries. The only thing that is annoying about having that name is that not too many people spell or pronounce it correctly after meeting me. Some spell it "Jacklyn" or "Jacquline". I have had people who see my name and try to pronounce it call me Jadyn. They think the C and the L are a D. this has happened numerous times.
