HALEY - HAY-lee or HAL-lee?
Haley. If there's no y/e/i before the L, it's not Hayley.
KALEY - KAY-lee or KAL-lee?
Kal-lee. see above
KATLYN, KATLYNN - KATE-lyn or KAT-lyn?
Kat = Cat, not Kate.
How do you pronounce CATELINE?
Kate-line.
How do you pronounce Caitlin? What about Caitlín?
Kate-lin for the first, not sure about the second. I'd say it the same, but now I want to go research and see if thats right!
Do you think it's wrong to pronounce Caitlin as KATE-lyn? What about Caitlín?
No, but it could be and I don't know it!
What do you think of Cateline?
NMSAA. Weird sound, and if you are going for Katelyn, unecessarily confusing
What do you think of HAY-lee, KATE-lyn, KAY-lee and KAY-lyn? Do you see them as trashy, trendy, cute, strong what is your first impression?
Hayley - like it, and I think it works well for both a kid and an adult
Kayley - GP of mine, but can't picture it on anyone over 20
Kaylyn - trendy and cutesy, like, sickly cutesy. I can't even picture this on a 10 yr old, let alone a adult
How many people do you know with the names I listed above? How do you see them spelled most often?
Kayleigh - one spelt this way (21)
Hayley - two, one an adult, one in Ella's year at school
Caitlin - three- friends baby, Ella's middle name, one at her school
