Re: Pronunciation question and a 'what's your fave spelling of...'
in reply to a message by Lily
I say cat-uh-LEEN (similar to the French, but not quite), but if I was a reader I'd either settle on Kate-leen or Kate-line. The problem with character name pronunciation is that really the reader decides how they're going to say it, and often don't realize they're wrong. I do like Caitlin, but not spelt Cateline, and I think KATE-leen would be better spelt as Caitleen or something. I like Caitlin a lot. I know a Caitlin, a Kaitlyn, a Caitlyn, and a Katelyn. I've also seen Katlyn pronounced that way which I really don't like. Katelyn is my favorite, mostly because I'd want to use Kate as a nickname and that way it's more intuitive.
