What is your favorite spelling of kate-lynn and why?

[name_f]Do[/name_f] they give you different images, colors, personalities, styles or ages?

For example, would a [name_f]Kaitlyn[/name_f] be younger than a [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f]? Would she look and be different?

[name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] [name_f]Katelyn[/name_f] [name_f]Kaitlyn[/name_f] [name_f]Kaitlin[/name_f] [name_f]Caitlyn[/name_f] [name_f]Catelin[/name_f] [name_f]Katelin[/name_f] [name_f]Katelynn[/name_f] [name_f]Catelynn[/name_f]
etc.

Which one?

[name_f]Caitlin[/name_f]! It looks neat and it’s the original. It also feels more timeless to me, more like a classic, because it’s simply the [name_u]Irish[/name_u] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], not a spelling inspired by the trendiness of the sound, if that makes any sense at all!

[name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] is my favorite spelling :slight_smile: the various Y spellings do seem not necessarily cutesy but more juvenile than the more timeless, classy Cailtin.

[name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] for me too. She just looks so clean and sleek. All the others inevitably feel trendy to me. I’m a big fan of Caitlin’s Gaelic pronunciations too.

I feel like they all are fairly similar in age, when [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] got popular most of the variants got popular. I would maybe say that [name_f]Kaitlyn[/name_f] feels the most youthful to me, though.

[name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] because it feels the most classic. I also like [name_f]Katelyn[/name_f] because it seems the most straightforward of the alternate spellings.

[name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] is the name I’m going to give my daughter, my best friend was [name_f]Caitlyn[/name_f] (she passed away several months ago) so it’s a very special honor name to me.

[name_m]Ah[/name_m], this is tricky.

I think [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] is my favourite. I like the rounder, gentler look, but it also feels sort of more outdoorsy, summer skies and swifts

I do like the simplicity of [name_f]Katelyn[/name_f] too - it feels straight forward, confident and snappy. It gives me glitzy sparkles, tap dancing and talent shows, but also baking, colourful, quirky clothes

Let’s also not forget to shout out KVIIIlyn - it gives some sort of vibe, but not sure what
