It looks very pretty spelled out (as does Caitlin) but the sound of kay-lin is rather trendy. I think that this spelling should actually be pronounced kay-leen because it's Irish and means 'girl' like Colleen but if you like in the USA you can very easily get away with the kay-lin prounciation. It doesn't sound or look uneducated infact I think this spelling is rather classy! I do like it, a lot! :)How does it sound with your son's name? What is your son's name?

My 23 month old son is Andrew. I do like the Cai-leen pronounciation too, very pretty. I've always liked the name Colleen as well. :) Thank you both of you for the great replies. I wish Caitlin and like- sounding names weren't so darn popular! I've loved Caitlin since I was little and no one had the name. Oh well...! :)

Oh my goodness! I don't have any way to proove this but when I was asking you later what your son's name was I almost said I hoped it was Andrew becuase Andrew sounds so nice with Caitlin and Cailin! :)

That's so cool!!! Wow!!! :) I've always thought Andrew and Caitlin or Andrew and Cailin sounded so nice too! The problem is: my younger brother is Andrew too, and his wife is Katie (Katherine). So you see why I hesitate at having an Andrew and Caitlin-possibly nn'd Caitie/Katie! There would be two of the same name pairings in the same family. Sigh...!
