Help[Opinions] Re: Caitlin and Kathleen
in reply to a message by )(
I'm reading a book where the main character is named Caitlín de Burca, changing it to Kathleen Burca when she moves to the UK.
It bothers me a bit when Irish names are taken and mispronounced to the point they become different names. Ciara/Kirara becoming key-a-ra or cee-air-a, Caitlin becoming kate-lyn. If you are doing to use the pronunciation of kate-lyn then spell it Katelyn. If you're not in Ireland than use the spelling Kathleen.
