I know someone who named their son Lincoln, I thought a bit different at first, but it's really grown on me. I think it's nice.
Love it!
I have a nephew Lincoln and he is gorgeous. He rarely gets Lincoln though. Usually just Linc. He is two.

I really like it
Like Lincoln but love Linc! I just had my baby boy Sunday night and he is called Linc. We decided on just Linc because his middle name is Jonathon and I thought it sounded better with Linc.
He is my fifth and I refer to him as our missing Linc

First thing I think of is a car. This name is NMS, but I don't hate it. DH has a friend in his 40s called Lincoln and generally gets called Linc.
Love it!
I don't love it but I think it's nice.
Not terrible and I guess it would grow on me. But overall, NMS.

Joining the love-it queue! Just such a good name!
I don't really like it, sounds formal and stuffy, no funnybone.
I love it, but used it for my dog 
we didn't think we would be having any more children lol.

Deeply NMS, sorry. I can't think of any palatable nicknames and the associations are not good.
Really NMS ... Sorry.
But if you love it, it should not matter what people think

Personally I don't like it because it sounds american (don't know why, maybe cos of the cars and abe lincoln) but I mean I wouldn;t name my child Lincoln, but it is an OK name if you like that sort of thing
Not my style but not offensive either.
It's a great name!
I know a baby LYNKIN (seriously)
The name is ok, but feels very American to me
