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/fx...
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.
