Jacqueline or Jacquelyn

Aaron accidentally typed too fast and put Jackie's name on a power point slide as Jacquelyn instead of Mom's spelling of Jacqueline. We are tossing it around. I don't think we'd change how to spell Jackie since Aaron's vetoed my favorite "Jaci" and any use of the letter Q, such as Jacqui. I think a 'y' in the name is quite a trend. I'll play with some fonts. Leave a comment if inspired.

Jacqueline

Jacquelyn

Jacquelynn

Jacquelynne
*the only spelling not accepted by spell checker*

Ooph, makes ya dizzy to concentrate on it too hard. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter how we spell it, people are still gonna have to look it up. 10 letters is a lot and most people with the name go by Jackie anyway, so it's less familiar in print.

If we didn't use Mom's name, our top name choices were Ansley or Analiese.

I like both, I think I lean toward Jacquelyn. However I pronounce them differently, so I think it would be how you want it pronounced?!?! LINE or LYNN at the end? Then again, I like keeping the family name too. Both of my kiddos have a family name as their middle name. I guess I am not much help.
