Hi! I have loved the name Quellyn Yvonne since I was like 10 years old. I know it's a little out there. My mom pronounces it like, Qwellen and my sister and myself pronounce it like Kellin. How would you pronounce it? Either way, her nickname would be Ellie

Reading it, I said Qwellin. But Kellin sounds cuter. I like the spelling Kellyn. & Ellie is a perfect nickname!

I read it as Qwellin also, but I much prefer Kellin. Maybe just opt for a different spelling because it is a very cute name.

I read it as Qwellin too, and I think the spelling Kellin/Kellan would be better :) Still, a really cute name!

Maybe I'm the only one, but when I see the Que in it, I pronounce it Kay (like in Spanish), So I'm seeing a trendy spelling of Kailyn. My second guess would be Qwellin.

I said it like Qwellyn. I do like the Kellin pronunciation better, but it sounds like a boy's name to me. I'm not a huge fan of it.

I would say Qwellyn, buy Kellin/Kellyn is better. I believe you could use this name for a boy as well for a girl.

I see Kway Lynn. I'd go for a more traditional spelling if you are worried about how people will pronounce it.

I would say it (KWELL in) since the Qu makes a KWA sound to me like Quiet (KWI et) or Quit (KW it).
