Kathlyn

Does anyone have any idea how to pronounce the name Kathlyn? It's the name of Warren Beatty and Annette Bening's oldest daughter. I thought KATH-lin at first, but I've started to wonder if it's maybe an alternative spelling of Kathleen. Anybody know which it is, or if it's something entirely different?

I always thought it was like Kathryn but with the L sound.

Probably like Kathryn with an L.

I thought Kathleen when I saw it.

I would guess it's like Kathleen, for no better reason than Kath-lynn sounds funny.

I think I read once that it is pronounced Kath-LEEN...

It's pronounced Kath-Lynne. It's my SIL's name although she goes by Elisabeth or Beth, her middle name. She was named after a girl that my MIL babysat for.

Ah, thank you. Is the emphasis on the first or second syllable?

[space-monkey340.livejournal.com]

The first.
