My husband and I have been loving the name [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] recently.

WDYT? Also, do you have any nickname for it? We love [name_f]Kate[/name_f]/[name_f]Katie[/name_f] but prefer the spelling of [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f]. Would [name_f]Kate[/name_f]/[name_f]Katie[/name_f] still make sense with [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] or should we find an alternative spelling that begins with K?

We did think of having a middle name that began with a C, like [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f] to create the NN [name_f]Cece[/name_f], which we though went lovely with our daughters main nickname, [name_f]Delia[/name_f]. DH likes CJ too (I don’t, personally) so he likes [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] [name_f]Josephina[/name_f].

Thanks in advance

I like [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f]. In the UK it’s widely seen as a ‘chav name’, but I’ve grown to appreciate it.

I think [name_f]Kate[/name_f] works without having to do [name_f]Katelyn[/name_f]/[name_f]Kaitlin[/name_f] etc. I love [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] [name_f]Josephina[/name_f] but CJ isn’t my thing. I love the idea of [name_f]Cece[/name_f] and [name_f]Delia[/name_f], but I would use [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f] [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f].

[name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_f]Delia[/name_f] are pretty adorable too, though!

I love [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f], too! I don’t think it matters how you spell it–you can still get [name_f]Kate[/name_f]/[name_f]Cate[/name_f] as a nn from it. I think [name_u]Kit[/name_u]/[name_f]Kitty[/name_f] is a pretty adorable nn, too, for what it’s worth. :slight_smile: I am not a CJ fan, but I think [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] would be lovely, for what it’s worth. You don’t have to call her CJ, but your husband could if he wanted. I think something like [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] would be adorable, and [name_f]Delia[/name_f] and Cici are cute together. :slight_smile:

I think something like [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]/[name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] would be lovely, too. Or [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]? That does sound a bit more dated, though…

Good luck!
