Caoilfhionn

Lovely name, one of my favorites.

I love this ❤️❤️.

My sister's name is this name but spelt as Keelyn (key-lin). I absolutely love her name it has a easy pronunciation but can be hard for people to spell as it is an Irish name. I would not spell it with this spelling as even in Ireland people would find it very difficult to spell so I would go for the spelling Keelyn or Keelin. It’s a beautiful name especially if you want your child to have a unique name cause you won’t meet many Keelyn’s.

Sorry, sounds like a boys name.

This is my legal name and it's a pain for other people to spell or pronounce. I'm in America where names are socially required to be something simple: Mary, Elizabeth, Brittney, Christina etc. It's very frustrating to have a name that ties me to my family heritage but gets comments like "Weird name" "where do you get that?" "You're making that name up. Let me see your ID." I love the name but there are many cons to it. Adults are little better than children when it comes to names. I've been told that the reason I didn't get a job was because they couldn't pronounce my name and they laughed about it. It's not worth the frustration. Please don't name your child this. I've tried going by Keylee and it's no better. Somehow or another, people think I'm supposed to be called Kaylee or Kyleigh. Cute, but not my name.

I find it strange that people seem to think Caoilfhionn has a "difficult" spelling. It's just two of the most basic Irish vocabulary words, caol (slender) and fhionn (white) put together, with an extra "i" to make it correct by spelling rules. What is so "difficult" about that?

Gee, who other than an expert on Irish culture would figure that this name was pronounced "KEE-lin"? It's probably the most hideous Irish name after Toirdhealbhach in my opinion.

This name is so beautiful! I've been in love with it all my life. Caoilfhionn is one of my favourites, and the meaning is so literal. Very Irish (I'm Irish!). That's what we like to do - add a bunch of extra vowels that we have no intention of pronouncing. Anyway, I think it's a very pretty name. It sounds so sweet and beautiful. :)

A perfectly spelled example of why I hate Irish names.

I think the name is cute, but I don't like the meaning too much. It sounds very vain to me.

I really like this name. Especially the spelling. Something about the way the Irish spell really grabs me.

Such a beautiful name and I would consider naming one of my children this definitely. But the thing is even in Ireland there are problems with the spelling and pronunciation so I think whereever you are you'll run into problems with it.

My best friend's daughter's name is Caoilfhionn. I really like that name, but the problem is: we're from Germany and nobody is neither able to spell nor to pronounce it! Her second daughter is named Seosaimhín (pronounced like Josephine), although she hasn't any Irish origin. In school the girls are just called Kel and Jo, even on her reports they're named Keelin and Josephine. I think names shouldn't be too exotic (especially when their family name is "Wagner", one of the most common German family names).
