Comment on what is with child names like Aiden, Braiden etc?

  I don’t think there’s any history, it was just popular in the midwest in the 2000s

  Caitlyn, Kaylin, Ashlin, Jaylin, Roselin, Jaquelin, Shaelin. Same with adding “leigh”

    The English name suffix -in comes from the french name suffix -inne which is a feminine modifier. Eg. Jacques is a masculine name, Jacqueline is a feminine name.

    But those are just names that already existed? I thought you meant like taking a name like Simon and making it Simonlin or Adam to Adamlin

  You take a common name and add “lin” or any variation of that sound at the end.

  The only example I have at the top of my head is Jessica-Lyn because I knew one person with that name in the past, but you get the gist.
