Baby Names

Be honest! The name Caitlin?

Do you immediately think of the Kardashians? The association is slowly ruining this name for me 

Re: Be honest! The name Caitlin?

  • Not really. This must have been a pretty common name in the 80s at least in my area because there were always multiple Caitlins at my school. So it wasn't like Caitlin Jenner "introduced" me to the name.

  • No, I don't. When I first read this I thought "there's a Caitlin Kardashian?!" and then it hit me. So obviously it's not my first thought. Like pp mentioned, I know a lot of other Caitlin's so I don't associate it with anyone in particular.
  • I don't immediately think of Caitlyn Jenner, but I do think that it is extremely popular. There are a ton of Katelyns, Caitlyn's, Catlins, Kaylees, etc.

  • Do not think of the Kardashians. It's not a new name I've known several through the years so I don't think many would think of them 


  • No I don't think of them. But I'm not crazy about the name. 
  • I also thought, "there's a Caitlin Kardashian?"  so no, I don't think of her.  It's a pretty popular name so I don't associate it with anyone in particular.
  • Definitely don't think of the Kardashians.

    I love the name Caitlin, especially spelled this way.

  • I'm just happy you spelled it right. So tired of Katelyns. 

    No offense to anyone who spelled it that way.
  • No I don't think of the Kardashians.
  • I don't think of the Kardashians.

  • I'll be honest. I totally think of the Kardashian/Jenners. Will I in a year or two? Maybe not. But right now, Caitlin is a big story in pop culture. 
  • Yup my mind goes there immediately

  • I didn't think of them at all.
  • I immediately thought Caitlin Jenner but that could be the spelling too. The other Caitlins I know are K spellings 
  • I don't associate it with the kardashians, but I do associate it with Girls born in the 1980s, like Jessica, Jennifer, Brittany, I think it's a little old for a baby born these days, eventually it'll be like Pamela or Nancy from the 1950s.

  • I didn't think Kardashian. I actually had to mind check myself, 'there's a Caitlin Kardashian?' like others did. I just thought of the girl I know named Caitlin. I'd thumbs up the name

  • I know about and followed the Caitlin Kardashian story and still didn't think of it when you posted - thought you were just asking about the name generally.

    I like it. 
  • As a Caitlyn myself, I haven't encountered any one who's made a kardashian connection or joke at my expense. I'm almost 32, the name existed long before they used it. Still surprised she used the spelling I use. Seems less popular than other caitlins, kaitlyns, etc..
  • I like the name Caitlin and that spelling is my favorite. I also like Cait! 
  • My mind instantly went to Caitlyn Jenner.

    Nope, and when I first read it I thought "who is Caitlin Kardashian??" and it took me a second to realize you meant Caitlyn Jenner.  I would not have made the association if you hadn't mentioned it.  It's a somewhat popular name, so I wouldn't immediate associate it with one person or celebrity.  If it was something unique like Apple, then yeah, I immediately think of Gwenyth Paltrow, but not something common and classic like Caitlin.

  • I like it but I am a little biased because my name is Kaitlyn. Although, when I think about it people don't actually call me Kaitlyn. It's either Kaity, Kait or KK. 
  • I didn't think of her at all. My honest thought was this name is a bit played out.

  • I totally didn't think of Caitlyn Jenner. I actually was thinking how fresh it is as a name.
