Thoughts on the name Caitlin / Cait?

[colourmeclueless]

Just curious on what your thoughts are for the name Caitlin / Cait. Don't like the nickname "Caitie" or "Caity" much though.

I don't know would I call it timeless. Caitlin has only been pronounced as Kate Lynn relatively recently. I'm in Ireland and I'd personally include the accent (fada) and pronounce Caitlín like Kathleen. But I admit that outside the country, as well as for many within it now, it's pronounced as you prefer it OP. It's a pretty name, but I'd use the Katelyn spelling for that pronunciation.
At this stage in the evolution of the name, it's down to personal choice though, of course. In fact you'd probably cause confusion by choosing the original pronunciation now, at least outside Ireland.

No.
It's always mispronounced.
It's also quite common/popular.

...given it's a Celtic name and I imagine not crazy common in America. Maybe it's the "Tammy-Lynne" kind of Americanism that causes the association though.

Well actually...

It is crazy common in America, and has long eclipsed Tammy-Lynne in popularity. You could say it's the Tammy-Lynne of at least the last two generations.

It was very popular in the early 2000s and always said as Cate-lyn, often spelt Katelyn. The popularity made it seem a bit ordinary.

Tamsin might be an alternative.

I don't like Cate or Cait. Kate is nice.

Caitlin is a name that lots of high school
Kids have - there must be at least two in every year here! (North).

Just wanted to pipe in again, in 19 years no one has ever miss pronounced my daughters name. (And we pronounce like OP would)
I've been asked how to spell it a few times but I've been asked how to spell my own name and that of my other children and they are all fairly normal names.

Caitlin is a lovely name, that will take your daughter from childhood into adulthood. #teamcaitlin
