9. I have never known another Maylene. How hold is that name?

   Reply to Shayda

   1. I have never hear of Maylene either, I knew a Marlene when I was at school, but she came from Wales, Maylene sound like something from the Beverly Hillbillies, so is probably an American deviant of a name.

18. so my second name ( Nicole ) is a complete no show, and my first one i’m not even gonna ask ( Jhenaei ). Well its kinda cute knowing that my name its not really that popular anymore. My brother’s name is John Nicholas so that’s where my mom got my name because my brother wanted me to be named like him.

    1. They are talking about popular names – yours looks somewhat made up – when was it ever popular and in what country?

       1. That would appear to be the case.

21. I was supposed to be named Lucia after my grandmother, but in a desire to Americanize my name I was given the name Lucille although I prefer Lucia. A friend’s granddaughter is named Lucille and when I asked her mother why she replied that she thought it was a very feminine name – poor kid!

22. My name is Lluwellyn and I really would like to know where it originates from.

    Reply to LLUWELLYN

    1. Surely it’s Welsh? (Though usually spelled Llewellyn).

       Reply to R

    2. Almost certainly a corruption of the Welsh Llywelyn

       Reply to Julian

    3. You are named after a Prince. The double L at the beginning of the name is pronounced like an fl combination. https://seniorplanet.org//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llywelyn_the_Great

    4. I don’t know but judging by the spelling it looks very Welsh (as in Wales)

27. Why do people assume Kathleen in an Irish name when I was told the song I’ll take you home again Kathleen was written by a gentleman in Illinois in 1906 for his wife named Jean?

    Reply to Kathleen

    1. You’re half right, the song was written by Thomas P. Westendorf in 1875, in Hendricks County, Indiana for his wife Jennie,

       Reply to xmrvl

    2. A song title does not point to the origin of the name – are you saying before the song was written there were no Kathleen’s in existence? I doubt it.
