Help[Opinions] WDYT of Cathleen?
This name is growing on me. I prefer Cathleen to Caitlin, but not as much as Catherine. I adore Lily Cathleen as a combo. Any combo suggestons?

I like it, my middle name is Kathleen, but I like it spelled with a "C" as well :)

I prefer Lilly Catherine or Katherine. :)

It looks misspelt - it's usually spelt Kathleen in Ireland and I see it as an old lady name.
If I were to use it I'd spell it Caitlín.

I immediately think it's misspelled.
Kathleen is the accepted American spelling - Cathleen just looks wrong to me.
Lily Cathleen doesn't flow to me, I'm not sure why. Emma Kathleen / Cathleen is pretty enough. Lilia Cathleen / Kathleen is lovely, especially with the nn Lily. And it's no more unusual than Ginevra.

In the US, the K isn't really interchanagable with the K.
Katharine/Catharine, Christine/Kristine Christina/Kristina Corrinna/Korrina - but Kathleen is only ever see with a K. It does look nicer with a C, but for someone who is as obsessed about teasing factors, you might want to think about that.

I live in America and I see it just as frequently with a C as a K
Maybe it's regional but I don't think it's American.
Also I've only ever seen Corrina with a C.

I like it better with a C. Americans have this thing with Ks. I'm not a fan of Ks. They're too pointy. :)

Lol, agreed abut the Ks

I love Cathleen!

I love Catherine. I like Cathleen, but spelled Kathleen.

Well, my name is Caitlin (Cait), so I'm a bit partial. Catherine and Cathleen I like better with K's (Katherine and Kathleen), because for some reason they look stronger to me.

Love Cathleen, love all of the usual 'k' names better with the C, Cathryn, Catherine, Catrina, Cathleen, Caitlin, etc.
I love Lily Catherine and Lily Cathleen, though I think I like Catherine a tad better, seeing as I am currently in love with older sounding names (Tess, Caroline, Charlotte, Abigail, Silvia, etc).
Catherine Lily nn Cate is cute as well ;]

My niece is Erin Cathleen. :-)
Cathleen is very pretty. It's softer looking than Kathleen, and has a more authentic feel since Irish doesn't have a "k" in the alphabet. Yeats used "Cathleen ni Houlihan" as a personification of Ireland, if I'm not mistaken.
I definitely love the name Cathleen. Lily Cathleen is a lovely combination. Others you might like:
Anna Cathleen (= pure grace)
Rosa Cathleen
Mairead Cathleen
Deirdre Cathleen
Isibeal Cathleen ("ISH-bale")
Brigid Cathleen
Sinead Cathleen
Ailsa Cathleen
Emerald Cathleen
Mary Cathleen (nn Mae?)
Margaret Cathleen (nn Maisie?)
Elsa / Elspeth Cathleen
Fiona / Finola Cathleen
