Expecting DD2 in Feb.
Had DD1 been a twin, her sister would have been Caitlin, but I may have gone off it a bit. I've 2 issues: first, do people with this name have difficulties with others knowing how to spell and pronounce it properly? I don't want DD2 to have a lifetime of having to spell and correct the pronunciation of her name. Secondly, is it abbreviated to Cait/Kate? I don't want Cait (however spelt) to be used - it's too common and boring.
Love Caitlin, but only as a full name.

LOVE Caitlin. But I also like Cait/ Caty, so the shortenings would bother me so much.

It was on my shortlist, but it got eliminated because of the lin part making me think of Lynne Scully...! I didn't want to run the risk of her going with Lin in later life!

I thought of caitlyn Jenner as well. I don’t really like the name.

I'm related to a Caitlin. She's 20, and has always used her full name, it's never shortened. Also sometimes people ask how to spell it, but not as often as some other names, and once they know, they get it right from then on.

How do you want it to be pronounced?
