Personal experiences with the name Linley: | Edit

>>>This is my middle name and was just wondering if anyone else our there had this as there name. I have know people with the last name Lindley but never anyone with out the 'd' in the middle. Also its a great middle name cause no one can ever guess it when trying. I always tell people when they try that theres no way they can get it so once they said lin or ley i i tell them its both lol.

>>>It's my first name. I like it, it's nice to be able to be in a room full of people and not worry about being "Jessica M" and not "Jessica C." The only thing that sucks is when I meet new people and they hear my name and immediately assume I said that it was "Lindsey" or "Lenny" or "Lindy," those are all names I've been called and I have to correct people by sounding out each syllable separately, "It's LIN LEY."
