    What about Aisling or Aislinn -- that'd get your "lin" in. It's means something like "dream", I guess..daydreaming is "aislingeacht".

    Note: the "i" next to the "s" will make a "sh" sound (a voiceless, alveolar fricative -- to be a know-it-all). Therefore, the name's pronounced more like Ashling or Ashlynn depending.

    That one's actually been at the top of my list for a girl's middle name since before I posted. I know it's supposed to be pronounced "ash" but I kind of fell in love with the pronunciation Ays-lin...which is probably how everybody that reads her name will say it anyhow.

    But I have a strong suspicion this little one is a boy...
    (I've had the inkling to watch the Star Wars and Jurassic Park series several times. lol)
