About the Name Lynette

The name Lynette's root letters are LNT.

The lyrical letter L is the icon of the best things that money can’t buy: love, life, laughter, and loyalty. And even though the letter N tends to be associated with negativity, it is offset by the terrific letter T (the symbol for all things triumphant, truthful, tangy, tingly and teenaged). When all three of these letters occur in words they create the sense of feminine flexibility found in: lenient, talent, plenty, fluent, reliant, jubilant, and pliant. Fewer than thirty thousand individuals in the United States bear LNT names, but with their fiercely independent and outgoing personalities, these people stand out in a crowd.

Despite their natural vigor you won’t find Lynettes taking center stage at the local karaoke joint. It’s not that they’re shy by any means; it’s just that at some level they believe it’s a bit unseemly to draw attention to themselves. If they’re going to reveal something intimate, it’ll be quietly done in the presence of one or two close confidantes. If their reluctance to step on a limb means they might miss out on some career or social opportunity, it’s just fine with them. They have too hard a time forgiving themselves for their mistakes.

Like most people whose names begin with the letter L, Lynettes are socially adept and easy going. Butthey’re also extraordinarily accommodating people who know how to keep everyone around them happy. While some might see this as an unhealthy need to please, Lynettes prefer to think of it as being loyal and devoted. Whatever the reason, Lynettes must be on their guard lest people take advantage of their compliant natures.

When comfortably surrounded by people who have their best interests at heart, there’s something quite charming about the way Lynettes give of themselves and plenty of potential suitors are attracted to their wide-eyed innocence. But only when they’re in a secure relationship are they likely to flower and reveal the more assertive aspects of their otherwise retreating demeanor.

The Lynettes’ desire for intimacy makes communication a pleasure -- even if most conversations revolve around emotional issues. Lynettes can’t help but say what’s on their minds although they will need some time to pluck up the courage to express their deepest secrets. And because Lynettes are so easily wounded, constructive criticism will only be acceptable when it comes from a loving partner.

Don’t try and change their behavior with harsh words. Lynettes respond far more readily to a whisper than they do a shout.
