Re: YES YES YES!
i think it's sick. i don't know what they think they are doing. you can spell it KHAEITLYIEN or CAITLYN, but they both sound the same when read out loud. one is just alittle less intelligable. i don't see how that is being different. as far as the boys. they are going to end up with no masculine names at all. seems like all you have to do is put a 'y' in a name and all of a sudden it is feminine.

i use to post at a baby name forum and we would joke around about this alot. i want to give our children family names when we have them. but we don't have alot of feminine names. so, i said (jokingly of course) why not just add a few 'y's and it will be feminine. my husband's father was named Roland Nilson. for a boy i am very settled on Rolandd, but if we have a girl first it would be nice to name after him also. so i thought we could use Nylsanne or Rolynn. pretty sick, huh? i would not really do that. i can find a real name
