There are some not great ways of spelling Caitlin. If I was going to use it, I probably wouldn't spell it Caitlin, but I'd try to not make it too ugly. Because there are some really ugly ways of spelling Caitlin. And after I saw this version, I don't think I'll ever be bothered by Caytelyn again. I know a Keightlynn. So, what does everybody think about that one?

As far as I'm concerned, Caitlin is the only way to spell it.

I read it as Kite-lyn. I like Catelin/Catelyn - which I know is kry8tv but I love Cate. My friend's little girl is Kaitlin which I prefer a lot more than Caitlin.

I also prefer it with a K. Funny, cause I prefer Conrad to Konrad.

The only ways I like are Caitlin and Caitlyn. I guess Kaitlin and Kaitlyn are technically okay, but I have an irrational dislike of the letter K.

Eww.

I don't mind Katelyn or Caitlin. Those are the only ones I like.

I don't mind Kaitlin (even though I don't really like the letter K) or Caitlin. Other than that, I hate them all.

I did know a girl named Kaytelynn.

I've seen some really, really bad spellings of my name before, with random "e"s and "y"s. But this one? God, does it ever take the cake! Keightlynn...oh, jees, it's terrible.

I am Caitlin, BTW.

Ditto. When I was young and naive I used to like Kaitlynne, but I've realized that Caitlin is beautiful in it's own right.

Just awful.

My favorite way to spell "Caitlin" is Katelyn.

I grew up with a Katelyn, so that's how I've always thought of it spelled.

Keightlynn is nauseating and looks more like Keet-lynn.

That's pretty horrible. Also, I read it as "Kite Lynn". :{

Eww. I only like Caitlin and Kaitlin, and recently Katelynn.

Wow that's bad. Why not just spell it K8-lynn and be done with it?

I like it spelled either Caitlin or Kaitlyn (but not Kaitlin or Caitlyn, for some reason).

ya kno, a lot of ppl gave me grief cos i wanted to spell it K-A-I-T-E-L-Y-N-N-E. and while i will admit i was a teenager when i decided i liked that spelling, it still ain't as bad as that spelling. right? ;) anyway, as of late, i've decided that KATELYN is an alternative i can handle. with that said, Keightlynn isn't a spelling i'd ever consider. i'd rather spell it the old fashion way of Caitlin, which i find bland, than ever see that spelling again, just sayin. and i wanted to pronounce it Keet-lynn, btw.

I'm with the first commenter: the only way I'd ever spell it was Caitlin. I think it's absolutely gorgeous.

This. I don't see the point of messing about with it.
