I think it's as pretty as the animal. I love "x's" too. And? the Lynx is not for a boy, it's for a girl. I think it's grand to name a child after a beautiful animal. But then, I was raised that way, and you weren't, eh? Not like I would name my kid....deer, or mountain lion, or cheetah...i was considering Coyote once, though... but I enjoy the mythology of the coyote in native american lore...see? different. I just think Lynx is a pretty, evocative name.
Also, a middle name will probably have to be "Rain". that's my best friend's name, and it reminds me of Stevie, too! One of her kids is named "River". Yep, we're all just a bunch of native american hippies out here....
