Caitlyn or Kaitlyn

I really like this name. My husband isn't exactly sure because of the media hype with Caitlyn Jenner. What do you all think?
And what spelling do you prefer? I know there are several.

    I don't think it matters either way. Also I didn't even think of Jenner when seeing the name.

    I like Caitlyn better. I tend to like C names better than K.

    I prefer it with a C, and with an i instead of y. Caitlin. Looks more... grown up to me.

    Caitlin is probably one of my least favorite names of all time. It's just not for me. I think I would avoid this name right now because of the hype...but then, I'm afraid my judgement on this is clouded because of how much I dislike this name. I'd spell it Caitlin. @LizWhiz87 and I are the Y's in names czars and we do not approve this extra y.

    Caitlin is grown up and classy to me.

    Bruce is a family name and we're sticking to it on our short list if it's a boy, regardless of the same media hype.

    Caitlin.  I also think it's silly to avoid due to pop culture considering it's a classic name.  Just like with all the people OMG I can't use Charlotte now because the princess. Um, it's classic and been popular forever.

    I saw a post a few weeks back that someone was SO upset that William and Catherine named their baby Charlotte because *now* it was going to be so popular. It was very popular long before that baby was born...

    I like most names with a K. it seems more classy and grown up. I am a Katherine and no one had ever asked about a C.
