How would you spell this name?

BabyCarryingVessel

For a girl, Kaylen or Kaylyn? Just curious about what you all think! This is a pick from my DH, and he doesn't care about the spelling.

RachelG1016

Kaelynn?

mamahawk12

Of the options, I'd say Kaylen. The only person I know with this name spells it Kailyn.

CeCe8579

Kaylen, I have a friend that spells it that way!

Upper West Side

The only person I know IRL with that name spells it Kaylynn, so I would go with Kaylyn of the two.

Of these options, Kaylen wins by a mile. Each additional y takes it down a notch in my book.

I second pp's suggestion of Kaylin ? that is how I would spell it if I just heard the name.

Only one I've ever seen was Kaelyn.

awesnap

I grew up with one, she spelled it Cailyn. 

But I vote Kaylin 

Notwifezilla7

I know three IRL:

Cailyn

Kaylin

Kailyn  

ktpaladino

Kaelen (seen this spelling on a boy) , Kaylin, or Kaelyn

ldcoffel

Of the choices I like Kaylen better, but DDs middle name is spelled Kaylin.

strawberrytree

I know a girl who spells it Kalyn. Personally I would go with Kailyn if you use it.

My sister has this name. She spells it Cailin, which I think is so much nicer than the harsh K spellings.

Todd&Laura

I had a student a few years back named Kailyn.

 

princessjenney

I know a Cailyn and I think it looks the most correct (for a made up name).

roxanarntson

I like this spelling best.

I would second this suggestion. 

shipsshoessealingwax

I prefer Kailyn or even Kalen, though the name is NMS

Aligator28

Just not Kaylyn - that looks a hot mess.

MichelleL1118

I know two girls with this name - one spells it Kaelynn, and the other spells it Kaylin.

JaZavitz

IRL i know a Kaylan and a Kailin

kmichln

You might hate this, but the only time I've seen this name I saw it in a book spelled Kahlan which they made a tv show out of...I know it kinda looks like Colin, but it was pronounced Kay-lynn. I thought it was kind of interesting.

ObLaDi

Cailin.

SunshineMuffin

Kaelin (just like Kato).

capulet

I know a Cailyn and a Kaylen. I would spell it Kaylin or Cailin. But honestly, your DD is going to have a hard time with this name since there's no instinctual spelling for it. Most people have a 1 in 20 chance of spelling it right.

This. I like Cailin the best out of all the many, many possibilities, if I had to choose, but I would avoid it since there is no one (or two or three) "correct" spelling (plus I like names to have origins and meanings and the usual whatever).

One of my BFFs is Kaylin. I say keep it simple or you run the risk of it looking trashy or just made up. 

It is a feminine, pretty girls name, but easily ruined with wacky spelling variations.

Katelyn

plutoisaplanet

I had a student with this name, and she was Cailin.  To me, that's the only spelling that works.  

this decaf life

Definitely Kaylen over Kaylyn but I too prefer Kaitlin [Caitlin].

I agree. I like this spelling the best BY FAR.
