I named my daughter Kaylin, I think it's such a pretty name. However, every time I tell someone her name, they also think I say Kaitlin, it drives me nuts! I thought maybe I wasn't pronouncing it good enough, but now I realize it's just the people not listening!
The spelling that I saw was Kaelyn and on the website it said the name was Hebrew/Arabic meaning "sweetheart". Regardless, I think it is a very pretty name.

I like the name because it's the name given to me. :) I hate when people call me Kaitlyn.
This name is really feminine and beautiful except I like it spelled Kailen which makes it a little easier to pronounce and gives it a kind of uniqueness.
We named our daughter Kaylin (after a friend's last name) and received many, many compliments, which added to our joy of having her in our life.
We struggled with the many variations of this beautiful name, but chose to spell it phonetically (she is KAY-lyn) to avoid mispronouncements and so she would not be burdened with constant requests on spelling. This strategy has worked for her.
A more exotic or unusual spelling would have been fun, but she likes her name and feels good about it, and that is what matters.
