Help[Opinions] Re: Pronunciation question and a 'what's your fave spelling of...'
in reply to a message by Lily
I know a billion Caitlins of every spelling. Caitlin is my favorite spelling.
One thing I like about character names for myself is that the pronunciation is ambiguous. For instance, I have a character named Bruckner, which I guess most people would pronounce Bruck-ner as in rhyming with Truck. But it's actually more like Brook-ner. I like that! I would enjoy the ambiguity of a Cateline too. I'd say something like Cat-a-leen, honestly, not quite French but not confusable with Caitlin. I might sometimes say it in a French accent in my head, though.
