Which is your favorite spelling of these names and why? Which spellings do you find tolerable?
HAY-lee – Hayley
KAY-lee – Kaylee although it’s really more of a sound than a name.
CAR-lee – Carly, Karly is also fine.
KATE-linn – Caitlin.
KAY-linn – Cailin. Well, at least that’s how the word is spelled.
AL-i-sen – Alison
JAY-den – Jaden
KAY-den – Kaiden
HAY-den – Hayden
AY-den – Aidan, or Aodhan.
KATH-rinn – Katherine, Catherine.
bree-ANN-a – Briana, I don’t really mind Breanna either.
ZO-ee – Zoe
Mak-AY-la – Michaela
MAD-eh-linn – Madeline. Madelyn is alright.

If you met anyone with these names, how would you assume they were spelled?
Hayley
Kaylee
Carly/Karly
I went to school with a ton of Caitlins spelled a multitude of ways. Mainly Caitlin, Kaitlin, Katelyn.
Kaylinn probably.
Alison or Allison.
JAY-den, KAY-den, HAY-den and AY-den all have some many spellings I wouldn’t even begin to assume.
Catherine or Katherine
Breanna
Zoe or Zoey
Again, this has so many different spellings now.
Madeline, Madelyn.


Are there any spellings of these names you really hate? Or any endings, letter combinations you really hate and why?
I dislike pretty much every spelling I didn’t mention, and some of the ones I did ;)


How many people with these names have you known? Approximate age? Siblings?
CAR-lee – 3. Ages approx. 10, 25, 30
KATE-linn – too many to count of various ages
AL-i-sen – Many of various ages
JAY-den – so many under 10
KAY-den – a bunch under 10, and two who are in their 20’s.
HAY-den – 2 16, 20
AY-den – so many under 10
KATH-rinn – many of various ages
bree-ANN-a – A few in their 20’s
ZO-ee – 2, under 5
Mak-AY-la – three in their 20’s, a bunch under 10.
MAD-eh-linn – 1 about 16

Do you like any of them? Would you use them?
I like Madeline and Katherine. I was more fond of Michaela before it became so popular.
