Sorry, at least in English there is no such name. Most of the answers given so far are quite mistaken.

The y in "Lynn" etc IS a vowel. (To see this, note that it makes exactly the same sound hear as a short i would; in other cases it is identical to a long i sound.)

In fact, though "y" can be used to indicate a consonant sound in certain situations, it is MORE often used to indicate a VOWEL sound.

In case, someone suggests a word with a "w" in the middle, note that w also sometimes marks a vowel. You can tell this, because when it does it makes the same sound as a "u" (mostly in the combinations aw, ew, ow, which are equivalent to au, eu, ou, but also in Welsh words [e.g., "cwm", which sounds like "coom"])..
(compare http://alt-usage-english.org/excerpts/fxword00.html)

The basic rule is this -- y or w at the BEGINNING of a syllable are used for conanant sounds, in the middle of end of of syllables they mark VOWEL sounds.

------------------------

There ARE English words without vowel SOUNDS (and in which none of the letters indicates a vowel). But none that I can find is a NAME. Rather, they are various "interjections", such as the following:

brr
grr
shh
hmm
psst
mm-hmm

I can't speak for other languages, though words without vowel sounds are generally a rarity. Names that fit this category would be a REAL rarity.

-----------------------

Note that "consonant" and "vowel" are first of all about SOUNDS.. only secondarily can they be used for the letters used to indicate these sounds. (The confusion is caused by the fact that MOST letters ALWAYS mark a consonant-sound or ALWAYS mark a vowel-sound.) Since "y" in words like "Lynn" indicates a vowel SOUND, it is properly called a vowel.

It depends on if you consider a Y a vowel on not. You can make a lot of girl's voweless names with a Y.
