Re: Caitlin
in reply to a message by Lily
I really like Caitlin, and I wish it had not become so crazily popular and washed out by all the variant spellings. I think the youngest Caitlin I know is around 7 or 8, and there are a half-dozen older Caitlins at my church. I'm not sure about spellings, but I think the most common choices are Kaitlin and Katelyn. Caitlin is really the only spelling I like and the only one I would consider using. I'm so used to Kaitlin, Kaitlyn, and Katelyn that they don't bother me. Catelyn is interesting, too. If you add up all the different spellings, it's still a popular choice today.

Interestingly, while I much prefer Katelyn or Katelynn because it looks more natural, if one must use the ai (which I'm generally not a fan of), it needs to be a C 'cause Kaitlyn/Kaitlin somehow doesn't look right at all.
That said, I can't stand Catelyn... or any Cate spelling...
