I voted for Lynn. It's my youngest daughter's middle name (Abigail Lynn) and it is after her Nonna, Lindee (I just spelled it different).

Anyway, love the sentimental reason behind the other one but agree that a two-syllable name needs a one-syllable middle name.

Addyson is GORGEOUS by the way! I have a little niece named that and we call her Addy.

I voted but didn't comment...but the reason why I chose just Lynn was because I thought the two names were just two long together...BUT it was a nice thought to put them together =)

Honestly...I don't really like either middle name for Addyson. If I had to choose one though it would be Lynn. Its shorter and sounds better. lol sorry!

Thank ya ladies, I think Addyson JoLynn is a long name too, but my last name is very short so when said all together it dosent sound bad :) My Hubby agrees with the majority of you guys he likes just Lynn, I love it too, it's my middle name, I was just thinking what can I do to be a little different, I will probly wait till she is born and look at her and see if one is more suiting after I meet her! Who knows! LOL Thanks ya'll

Since you are looking for a tiebreaker, I will post my thought:

I love the IDEA of JoLynn being a very sentimental family name, and think it's a beautiful name, but ...

Addyson is a three-syllable name (fairly long to pronounce) and I think that if one of the names is long, it sounds better when paired with a short one-syllable name.  It gives the name more of a flow off your lips.

Because of this I vote for Addyson Lynn, but I don't think it's a big deal.  I think Addyson JoLynn is a perfectly beautiful name, and I'm sure she will be proud no matter what you choose.
