I don't really understand how this could come from Caoilfhionn.
-aoi- is always -ee- in Irish so Caoilfhionn could only be pronounced with an -ee-sound. It couldn't be -ay-.
And I don't really see how the first syllable in Caelan could be -ee- (kee).
The anglicization for Caoilfhionn should be Keelin. [noted -ed]

This is the name I chose for myself when transitioning genders (ftm). It can sound similar to Caitlin if you don't clarify that it's "kay-luhn" instead of "kay-lin" but I still like it and I guess I serve as a male example.

I wonder how many parents have used this name, thinking it a 'creative variant' of Caitlin. This is what I initially thought, and so disliked it, until I discovered its meaning. Now I no longer dislike it, although I wouldn't use it personally. I realize it may be a boy's name, but the only Caelan I've met was a girl.

This is my name, and I think it's lovely, and I think it's best suited for a girl. (However, I've never met a boy named Caelan. Maybe if I do, and think he's nice, I'll like it as a unisex name).
