Three Syllable Names for Girls

Timberlyn is a unique invention that is given to a small number of baby girls each year. It doesn't have an official meaning, however, taken together, the elements "timber" and "lyn" would mean "wooded lake."
 
Timberlyn first appeared on the Social Security extended list, which records only names given to five or more babies, as a baby name in 1995. But we've heard from one Timberlyn born before that so the name existed pre-1995, even if it didn't hit the five-baby minimum.
