I also strongly prefer Caitlin. If I have to choose from your trio, and mind you I really don't want to, I would choose Caitlyn.
Do you dislike the name or the spelling of the name?
The spelling. I like the name Caitlin, despite its popularity/overuse. I think its lovely. But I really, really can't stand the "Y" spelling variations.
With Katelyn/Catelyn, etc. when I look at it, my initial thoughts are, "Over-used, old-school, '80s, meh", but with Caitlin, its traditional spelling makes it somehow new and beautiful. The older pronunciation is also lovely: Kaht-leen.

I adore the nickname Cate. Like you said, it's very classy - which is why Catherine is on my list.

No need to mess with the original anglicized name - Caitlin is the best/preferred spelling. Everything else looks tryndy or cre8ive.

Especially when you have such great spellings in your siggy.
ETA: Well that's what I get for not reading the rest of the thread - Caitlin Rose is beautiful!
