User Comments about the name Jacalyn
Comment left Nov 10, 2009: "My name is Jacalyn and I was born in 1991, not the fifties. I have never met anyone with the same name spelled the way I spell it. I usually go my Jackie but I pronounce my real name Jack-uh-lyn. I have met Jacquelines and Jaclyns. Jacalyn so rare. It makes me feel special :-)" (Report as inappropriate)

her daughter after me in 1986 and I thought
we were the only two. My Mother told me she made it up.The only real problem is you have to spell your name for everything." (Report as inappropriate)

I have never come across anyone else in New Zealand with the same name/middlename.The closest I know of it, is the US actress Jaclyn Smith. I love the name as it is different, and with that I do always have to spell it for people.As a bit of a follow on my husband and I named our son Jack." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jul 09, 2007: "My mother wanted to name me after my father, Jack, but didn't want a "Q" in my name as in the traditional spelling of the name Jacqueline. I've met a few others named Jaclyn, but never another individual with the same spelling as my name -- Jacalyn." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 27, 2007: "At firs I hated it because for some dumb reason I thought it was masculine, but then I saw this page last year and thought "wow, no boys use this name. How cool!" so now I rate my name 10/10, or A+. :-) Hope u enjoy this name and MOTHERS - name your children Jacalyn, pronounced Jack-uh-lin. My nickname is Jaci! My sister is Eva though. Boring and short. I prefer Jacalyn. Eva says she'll name her child Jacalyn and she's already ENGAGED to a guy named Tom. Tom and Eva. The most BORING names on the PLANET!! But yeah I'm excited about having a new relative Jacalyn but I'm only 10 so it'll be weird to be her aunt!! LOL." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 04, 2007: "My name is Jacalyn and I like it. Most prefer to shorten it and I only hear it in full if my Mum is annoyed with me! Ive been calling myself Jaki for 25 years as this can be awkward for others too. I left school at 16 because I couldn't stand being told what to do by people who couldn't spell or pronounce my name after 5 years of knowing me. My
mum chose my name as her father was called Jack by all. Jacalyn X" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 06, 2007: "people always spell it wrong! Jacklin, Jacqueline, Jaclyn, Ive had em all, my aunt didnt want my mom to name me this, she thought i would get called Jac-a-lantern, because of the extra "a" lol, that never happened yet tho." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Dec 08, 2006: "I was born on Fathers Day, my Dad named me. I have 7 brothers and sisters and I'm the only one Dad named. Thanks Dad I love my name. Jacalyn" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Nov 08, 2006: "It's alright. The extra 'a'seems to be a nuisance to most and a barrier to being called by my full, given name rather than a nickname." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 08, 2006: "I was born on my dad's birthday in 1953. He was John, so they named me Jacalyn. I was told that this spelling is Scottish. The priest refused to baptize me with this name (there's no Saint Jacalyn), so I was baptized "Joan of Arc." I pronounce it Jac-a-lyn, and most of my friends call me "Jac."" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 06, 2006: "I am in high school and over the years I have never had another Jacalyn in my classes, this year in my biology class I have three different variations of it thought, most people misspell it to be Jacalin or Jaclin and once in a great while I do get Jacqueline. I pronounce my name Ja-ca-lyn or
Jack-a-lyn" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 31, 2006: "I have met one other person with the same spelling of my given name Jacalyn I am unique and I love the name. Also my sister's name is spelled different Marylyn unlike the others who spell it Marilyn. I really like the uniqueness of our names. People often misspell it and as a child I went by Jackie because adults had such a difficult time they wanted to call me Jacquline. Thanks to Jackie "O" Thank you mom and dad" (Report as inappropriate)
