Spelling of Kaitlyn?

Which spelling of Kaitlyn is the most "normal" -- or one you like the best?  I'll do a clicky poll but feel free to list if I'm missing one...

Thanks!

Re: Spelling of Kaitlyn?

  • I like Katelyn or Caitlin
  • I think it was originally spelled with a C - Caitlin.  That's the Celtic/Gaelic form anyway.  Other versions considered American.

  • I like Katelyn the most (it's my top name choice)  I also like it because the nn Katie looks closest to it.
  • I like Kaitlyn or Katelyn.
  • I like the only one that's not on your list, Caitlyn.
  • I like Caitlin.

    I also prefer the original spelling of Caitlin. 

    Kaitlyn is pretty good.

  • thank you for this post.We are naming our daughter Kaitlyn.We wanted K because her sister is Kaela.
  • I actually like it best spelt Caitlin, but the way you have it is pretty too and doesn't look too much like a 'creative' spelling.

  • None of the above.

    I've only ever known people that spell it Caitlin. Anything else just looks ridiculous and alternative-spelling-ish to me.

    This.  I actually LOVE Caitlin, but DH doesn't want to use anything with any sort of Lynn in it because that's his aunt's name and, well, it's a weird story, so he vetoed it.  I do have a friend who has a baby named Kaitlyn though.

  • These are not considered "creative" spellings. Caitlin is one of those names that has several acceptable spellings which is difficult. If it was Keytelynne or something than I can see the point.

     

    I have seen Kaitlyn spelled out on name cups and other personalized items so to me that means it's mainstream 

  • It's a very old Irish Gaelic name that's supposed to be spelled Caitlin so of your choices, Kaitlin seems like the only other reasonable spelling to me (that's my sister's name).  All the others look stupid and made up to me.  Sorry.
