Here is a link to some information about the name Linley...http://www.babynames...eaning/Linley/f

It has several meanings (depending on origin and usage), in welsh it is derived from the word for lake. In Old English, Lin is derived from the name Lincoln, and Ley/Lee dictates a wetland...so Lincoln's Wetland or Lincoln's Island. The germanic name has several possible meanings/origins.

I think it is a nice sounding name, although I could see it being confused for Lindsey or Henley.

Linley is kinda nice, though I could see it being easily being misheard as Lindsey as well :( I do like a few Lyn names, like Linnea or Lynette :)

Katie already posted its meaning, so I wont bother with that :) And meaning of the dream? I'm not sure! I've had this happen to me before, dreaming about having a kid with a random name (or even specific sometimes). I dreamed a lot of having two boys named Liam and Hunter, but I don't think I'd do that in the end, they were favorites of mine at the time so it makes sense to me. On random names, I normally love them for a little while then get over them :P fickle I am!

Do you want middle name suggestions? :)

I don't mind it. It's quite cute. Not really my favourite but I don't dislike it either :)

Thanks for the meaning on Linley :)

I have to admit, Linley has never been one of my faves - so yeah, random dream lolz



Thanks,

firebird :)
