Question: Is KATE-lyn supposed to be pronounced as KAT-e-lin or as KAYT-lin with this key http://www.behindthename.com/pronunciation.php ?
I would assume KAY-lee to be spelled
Kayley but I would prefer the spellings Kalee or Cailey.
I would assume KAT-e-lin to be spelled
Kattalin and KAYT-lin to be spelled either
Caitlin or
Katelyn. At the same time those are my favorite spellings.
I would assume HAY-lee to be spelled
Hailey (on a girl) and that is my favorite spelling.
I would assume KAY-lin to be spelled either
Cailin or
Kaylyn. I slightly prefer
Cailin but I'm not a fan of the name in general.
Cateline: kaht-LEEN
Yes, I think it's wrong to pronounce
Caitlin or Caitlín as KAT-e-lin. I'd pronounce
Caitlin as KAYT-lin and Caitlín as KAHT-leen.
I think
Cateline is ok.
HAY-lee: Ok. Trendy but not trashy.
KAT-e-lin: I would always wonder whether that is
Katelyn mispronounced.
Katelyn (prn. KAYT-lin) would be ok, btw.
KAY-lee and KAY-lin: A little trashy, I suppose.
I do not know any people with any of the names above because I do not live in an English speaking country.
