My name is Jacklyn and I'm writing this all in my first period science class. ;) I love, love, love my name and embrace it in a huge bear-hug because It's such a unique name.

My name is Jacklyn. NEVER EVER met someone with the'same name. should ne pronounced Jack - Lyn. Commonly called jackie or jacqueline........ People love the name!!
mine is jacklyn too like when i try to get key chains they misspell it.
I love my name! usually jacklyn should be spelled jaclyn without the k. but i like the k because it makes me different. :D i hate the name Jacqueline for some reason but people always call me that and it frustrate me sometimes. people usually spell my name wrong :( during my childhood years, people will make fun of me by calling me jack 'o' lantern. but i dont mind much. i like my name. i also go by jackie too :D

My name is Jacklyn and I love my name and hows my parents spelled it! I hate it when people call me "Jackie" It's not my name, but I will answer to Jake :) So to all the Jacklyn's out there wear it proud!!! It's a great name.
My name is Jacklyn (nee Armstrong), and I was born in 1949. I was named after my father Jack. i've yet to meet anyone with the'same spelling so It's quite good to have an unusual name. Sadly though I had to shorten it to Jackie during my school days because people insisted on pronouncing the name JackAlyn or Jaqueline. Jacklyn should be pronounced Jack-lin. I'd like to go back to being Jacklyn.
my name is jacklyn and i hate my nick names! (jackie-poo,jackie-poopers and othe's) I GUESS ITS A UNIQUE NAME and its wierd because people ask me if i was a jack-o-lantern. its wierd but im only 12 i have a looong way to go! :)

I'm thinking about naming my next baby Jacklyn, its nice to see all the positive comments :) My uncle is named Jack (he goes by Jackie), and he is severely handicapped, but when I'm around him, there is a very special feeling i get. He is special, and i'd love to name my daughter after him.

My name is Jacklyn, and people ALWAYS spell it wrong. Everytime I tell someone what my name is, they always ask me how to spell it. If they don't ask me how to spell it, they usually spell it like jacqueline
I have never met anyone who spells their name the way I do, and I always resented how different it was. I also hated being called Jackie and went by Jacklyn until 7th grade. Now I always go by Jackie, or Jack and people generally always say both my first and last name together because of the flow. I was named after Jaclyn Smith but my mom wanted to add a K for some unknown reason. I'm fine with my name now but I still think its odd.
My name is Jacklyn, when i was younger people that it was funny to give me nicknames like " Jack-o-lantern, Jack in the box, or Jackie Chain" but i got used to it.
hI'my name is jacklyn kelly i am 16 years of age nd i am lookin 4 a man aged 90 to 110 wit a active sex drive no old folks plz ...

My name is Jacklyn. Most of my friends call me Jac.I cant think of whats the'special about this name. Its too much person own this name. Nothing to be proud of. Sometimes, i used to think why my parents spell my name as Jacklyn. Why not just spell it as Jaclyn or Jacqueline. Its nice than Jacklyn. I just dont like the alphabet k because some of my friends tend to write my name as Jack. Thats a men's name! I really dont like othe's to call me Jack. I prefer they call me Jac.
They often add the extra "t" at the end, although It's n't so. Extremely annoying [for him, I guess]
I'm Jacklyn too! Sometimes I feel so uncool because my name Isn't spelled all cool and feminine like jacqueline... Makes me sound like some sort of manly lumber Jack (pun unintentional).

my name is jacklyn and i wanted to find out what it ment so i just came here.

My Name is jacklyn!!! I don't know how my parents decided to give me this name cause I'm from Cuba and that name is kind of weird on that country...when I was a child I wanted to changed because nobody knew how to spelled it and that made me feel frustrated lol now I love my name And some of my coworkers call me Jacky chana
My daughter's name is Jacklyn, she's two. I love this name. I really love the'spelling with the k, without it It'seems incomplete.
We named our DAUGHTER Jayce in 2006 - we love the name for either a boy or a girl, and we intended to use it either way. The mis-pronunciation/mis-understanding we get most often is "Chase", but we get many compliments too. If pronouncing the name to someone for the first time, we just automatically provide the'spelling so that there is no question.
My name is Jacklyn but my friends like to call me names :( such as Jackzy and Jackass but my parents prefer to call me Bob cuz its easier to pronounce / spell when'they are drunk. :). My sister is also called Jacklyn but my parents call her Jim.. that makes us JimBob :D. Love to all named Jacklyn. You should feel proud.
i was named JACKLYN after my grandfather (jack)whom died when my dad was 8 and then also after my mom LINda! When I was younger my mom would get mad when people called me Jackie.Now 20 years later thats all I go by.
My Names Jacklyn To I thought I was the Only One That'spelled it that way but now I'm happy I'm not the only one because everyone seems to spell my name wrong
I named my daughter Jacklyn, spelled particularly this way, after her grandfather who is called Jack. Yesterday, for the first time ever, we met someone who spelled her daughter's name the exact same way.
Wow! This is inter'sting. I thought I was the only Kecia around. Especially my age (43). My parents told me they named me after a swedish(or norwegian❤️) model they saw on tv while my mom was pregnant. Now I see that a lot of other people did the'same thing. I always liked having a unique name although I was/am teased a lot. But people always rememeber me :)
FOR ME ITZ THE BEST NAME FOR It's MY NAME HAHAHA....
Hola mi nombre es Jacklyn y 100pre las personas lo pronuncian mal piensan que es Jaquelin. Me gusta mucho mi nombre porque no es un nombre comun y es un nombre que nunca van a olvidar!!! Adios
Haha, this is my name too! "Jack" has been passed down through my dad's side of the family, but it always goes to boys as their middle name. If I had been a boy, I would have been Benjamin Jack. But, since my dad has only girls, I am Jacklyn. My parents have called me "Jackie" since before I can remember, though, and I introduce myself as such. I love my name, but It's always mispronounced, and it drives me crazy! People always want to add a middle syllable, making it "Jack-uh-lyn". Ah, well, what can you do❤️
hI'my name is jacklyn and i love my name becuase there are so many ways to spell my name
be careful!!! please when nameing any child of yours with JACK n the name, the nick names are never ending and not the cleanest arround, it is a beautiful name and my own but after awhile the nick names become annoying and teenage boys love the nicks names they can give u b/c they aren't the cleanist
My name's Jacklyn and I always had my name'spelled very odd , but the oddest i've seen my name'spelled is JACKELYNE ! I love my name and sometimes i spell Jacklyn without the K and it looks so wrong so if You're Jacklyn with the K wear it out (=

My name is Jacklyn. I was named after my father, Jack. People try to pronounce or spell my name with an "A" in the middle also--Jackalyn. It is common for people to try and spell my name with a 'Q'. But, really my version is simple and is spelled exactly like It'sounds! I rarely meet anyone with the'same name and/or same spelling. I really like my name!!!
The dog in the many Lassie fI'ms throughout the late 20th century bore this name (the fI'ms are based on some stories about Lassie created from the Twenties or Thirties onwards by an English author named Eric Knight who was killed in an air crash in 1943 aged 46), and this is also a word for a young Scottish female.

My name is "Jacklyn" most the time they misspelled my name. When i went go the center they wrote my name as Jacqueline and in the'school registrar my record is not my name as Jacklyn but instead Jackie. Nobody call me in my real name because it is difficult they say. They usually call me as "Jack". when i ask my mother why she choose this name. She answered me she got my name from news paper. And I love my name, it is unique...
Hi, my name is Jacklyn & all of my life friends have been calling me Jackie Chan, Jackee, Jack-o-lantern, or Jack. i've grown used to them all. I find it quite inter'sting how I got my name. My mothert's name is Jacqeline. My father's nickname is Jack. They named me after the'street we lived on when I was a baby. 528 Jacklyn St. Memphis, Tn.
My name is Jacklyn, becuase I was born during the height of the Charlies Angels. When I was a kid I want to change my name to "Rose" so odd. now that I grown up I realize my name is unique and characterize my personality that why I love my name Jacklyn
