I was just thinking a little while back about how [name]Kate[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] could be a version of [name]Kaitlyn[/name], but not so…dated/trendy/childlike.
If I really wanted to use [name]Kaitlyn[/name], I’d do [name]Kate[/name] as the first name, and then [name]Lynn[/name] for the first middle name, and add in a second middle as “the middle name”.
Example: [name]Kate[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] Surname
What do you think?
I like it. [name]Kate[/name]'s not dated, but [name]Lynn[/name] kind of is. However, since it was dated long before [name]Kaitlyn[/name] it will probably make a comeback before [name]Kaitlyn[/name]. So I think it would work.
This is like my sister’s name! My parents wanted to name her [name]Caitlyn[/name] but they thought it was too popular so they divided it into [name]Caity[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]. I like it and so does she!
Well in [name]THEORY[/name] it works, but when you put [name]Kate[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] I read it as [name]Kate[/name] pause [name]Lynn[/name] pause [name]Charlotte[/name]. It sounded to me like I hiccuped or stuttered the name [name]Kaitlyn[/name].
I still think it looks tryndee. [name]Caitlin[/name] is the only spelling I like.
Well the full name is rarely ever seen.
She’d be called [name]Kate[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] most times, or [name]Kate[/name].
I like the idea in theory, but to me, it seems a bit… I don’t know what I would call it. [name]Kate[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] sounds just like most would pronounce [name]Caitlin[/name], so why split it up? [name]Caitlin[/name] might feel a bit trendy and childish, but it’s a wonderful Irish (Gaelic? I think it’s Irish…) name with lots of history. I’d much prefer to meet a [name]Caitlin[/name] than a [name]Kate[/name] [name]Lynn[/name], honestly. I feel the same way about [name]Emma[/name] [name]Leigh[/name] and [name]Anna[/name] [name]Belle[/name] and [name]Ella[/name] [name]Noor[/name]… or [name]Rosa[/name] [name]Lee[/name], you know?
It’s just a theory idea, I’m not a fan of [name]Caitlin[/name] personally and while I love [name]Kate[/name], I’d use [name]Katerina[/name] nn [name]Kate[/name].
Though I love the [name]Emma[/name] [name]Leigh[/name] way. Guilty!
[name]Caitlin[/name] when spelled correctly and pronounced correctly is hardly trendy or childlike – it’s only in the US where it’s been pronounced as “[name]Kate[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]”. It’s Gaelic/Celtic, in Irish “[name]Kathleen[/name]” and in Welsh “[name]Catlin[/name]”. Simply a linguistic variation of [name]Catherine[/name]/[name]Katharine[/name], so if you want [name]Kate[/name] and don’t like [name]Caitlin[/name], why bother? [name]Just[/name] use one of the other variations of [name]Katharine[/name].
It was just a theory idea.
I stated in a post of mine in this topic that I’d use [name]Katerina[/name] in reality.
I would tend to agree with these. [name]Do[/name] not like the [name]Katelyn[/name] and other made-up names/spellings for the original. Sorry.
My actual given name is [name]Kaitlin[/name], NN [name]Kate[/name], so I honestly have no idea why anyone would do this if they intended to call the child “[name]Kate[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]”. [name]Just[/name] name her [name]Kaitlyn[/name], or [name]Katerina[/name] like you suggested (although that seems more conducive to NN [name]Kat[/name] to me). I think calling someone [name]Kate[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] is abrupt and would always get mistaken for [name]Kaitlyn[/name] anyway. Sorry if I seem harsh, it just doesn’t seem to make much sense if essentially you’re going to call her [name]Kaitlyn[/name] anyway.
I agree that while I love the name [name]Kate[/name] by itself, adding [name]Lynn[/name] to the middle spot seems a bit trendy given the popularity of the name right now.
