Comment left Jun 17, 2008: "Love my name...Jacquelyn Nicole. I've gone by Jackie my whole life but now I want to be called Jacquelyn because it sounds so professional. I am asking all of my professors and employers to call me by my full name "Jacquelyn." Professional and classy here I come..." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 13, 2008: "Haha, I now love my name, Jacquelyn, but as a kid, I hated it with a passion! I would say, "I have no clue who Jacquelyn is, my name is Jaci". Unfortunatly, that just gave me even MORE trouble. Everyone pronounced it wrong (like Jay-see instead of Ja-kee like it should be) so in college I got over myself and went back to Jacquelyn. Soooo yeah. Yay college! Jk..." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left May 17, 2008: "I believe it sounds very professional. As well I think being able to have to different nicknames is great I can change it into whatever I feel like being,still giving me some choice after my parents chose it." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 07, 2008: "I also was given the name "Jacquelyn," and I now love it after oh-so-many years. My birth certificate reads "Jacqueline," because of a mistaken clerical error with the recording clerk, but my mother never spelled it that way, so I never did. My birth certificate is the only official record spelling the name that way; all other records show the "lyn" spelling. I didn't like it growing up, but I grew into it. It is classy & sophisticated just like the other Jacquelyn said -- even regal! Being an only child, I was "the Princess" . . . and now "The Queen!" I have only met one other, but I see the spelling every once in a while. As for "Jackie," it's a great equalizer and people respond positively to it. It wasn't until I was nearly an adult that I learned that I shared the name with Jacqueline Kennedy (first & middle) -- same sound but different spelling. That was just a coincidence -- I was not named after her. You Jacquelyns who don't like the name for one reason or another will eventually learn to like it if not love it -- I guarantee. It just takes some living before you reflect its positive attributes." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 22, 2008: "I, too, am called Jacquelyn, and went through a phase when I was a child of not liking my name, and preferring to be called by my middle name, Amanda (which nobody ever did!. However, as I ahve becmoe older I have grown to love and cherish my name - alhough like some of the other Jacquelyns out there I get fed up of other people not speiing it right - to the extent that I changed it to Jacquie when I was a teenager - but guess what? They STILL don't spell it right!!! Does it matter though? I know who I am, even if others appear not to!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 13, 2008: "I have an accent mark over the "E" and the way to pronounce my name is Jack-lin there is not a line here. Nuff said!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 13, 2008: "I never used to like my name until I got older. I hate that everyone wants to shorten your name to Jackie, but what I hate the most is that no one spells it right. I can spell it a million times and people still write Jacqueline. It's not line but lyn. The even pronounce it wrong. Soo Frustrating." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 16, 2008: "my name is Jacquely and my older brother gave it to me when iwas born. My mom wanted something uniqe and Jacquely poped out of a 5 year-old." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 19, 2008: "I hapen to love my name. I think it is unique and beautiful. My parents wanted to spell it with the -line but I am glad there was a little mess up and I got the -lyn instead. People do misspell it but there are more important things to be upset about. I never have had a problem with anyone mispronouncing it but I always get Jackie and that I do not like." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 26, 2007: "My name is Jacquelyn and it does get pronounce incorrectly sometimes but it is the abbreviation Jacque that gets mispronounce frequently. I don't meet very many people with my name and in elementary school I was the only Jacquelyn in any grade (k-6)." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 19, 2007: "Jacquelyn is my name and I LOVE it! People call me Jacquelyn or Jac for short, NEVER Jackie... its a whole different name! Jacquelyn is classy, sophisticated, and playful all at the same time." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 13, 2007: "I know one jacquelyn as Penpal, I didnt seeen her but she is too good, very loving and careful...
I love her." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 29, 2007: "My name is spelled Jacquelyn! This spelling is most unique and I LOVE it. I am not French, though, even though that is the origin. People always spell it incorrectly, usually the suffix making it -line. I have met a few others who spell the root differently as well: jaclyn or jaqueline. I have often though about spelling my nick name jacqui instead of jackie, but I don't think i will. pronouncing it is always a struggle so people just call me jackie. i pronounce my name "jack-kwa-lin"" (Report as inappropriate)
