yes- lyn

I'm sorry to say this answer is incorrect. Obviously this person is not aware that y is both a consonant and a vowel in the English language. The rule of thumb is...

If the y has a "ya" sound, as in yellow or yes, it is a consonant.

If the y takes on the sound of a vowel, it is a vowel. Examples?

Boy has the same oi sound as oil, making y a vowel replacing i.

Happy has a hard e sound and is replaced by i in happiness, making it a vowel.

Memory has the same hard e and is replaced by ie in memories, making it a vowel.

In every instance named...Lynn, Gwyn...y is, in fact, a vowel replacing the short i.
