I've met one with the middle name of Lynn, anyway, and I know that a
couple of men associated with the NFL have the first name "Lynn". Lynn
Scott plays for the Dallas Cowboys, for example.
It's interesting how, over time, some names originally meant as boys'
names end up being more girls' names. Leslie and Kelly are two such
names. Not sure about Lynn. "Madison" which seems to be popular for
girls these days has "son" at the end; I don't remember the definition I
found in a name book, but it was "son of X" for some X. I think Taylor
used to be pretty much just a boy's name, but I know one little girl
named Taylor and have heard mothers in stores addressing a daughter as
"Taylor". (I don't care for any of the names I've listed above as names
for my own offspring, so if there's a pool I don't know about for names,
those can be pulled right out of the running. :) )

p.s. Kinda back to the subject line: We'll be needing to travel before
the babies are old enough to be left for even a couple of days, so we'll
ALL travel together, and I called Southwest (which is probably what
we'll end up flying) to ask about ID for young children. Not necessary
if the accompanying parents have ID, which would be required. (They
*do* want proof of age if you're trying to fly with a child under 2 as a
"lap baby", though. Which I would not want to do -- we'll need car
seats at the destination and it's easier to just *use* them on the plane
than to try to check them, and who wants to hold an infant for a few
hours straight in a cramped space like that anyway? I just hope that
all my offspring spend more of the flight time sleeping than not....)
