Re: *real name* KVIIlyn

Wow.
I think Caitlin (spelled like that) is a very nice name, and I can tolerate Caitlyn, Kaitlyn, Katelyn, and some other common variants. But this is too much. I saw it and wanted to pronounce it "kvih-lyn" (as I bet most would) until realising it is supposed to be Caitlin.
I agree that creative names are going too far. They've really been going too far since the 1990s and I think it's only going to get worse.
