I love this name, also spelled Cailyn. Caitlin has always been one of my absolute favorite names but, I worry too much about the nickname Katie or Cait/Kate coming out of it. The reason being that my sister-in-law is already Katie (Katherine), and my brother has the same name as my son. It's just too much overkill in the same family! So since I can't really use Caitlin, I thought about Cailin as a substitute.
Please be brutally honest. Do you find it too trendy-seeming? Uneducated? I think it's so pretty but I'm not sure how others view the name. Thanks for all replies!
