Caitlin; it's less popular so it should stand out more. The order of popularity: Katherine, Kaitlyn, Katelyn, Caitlyn, Caitlin, ... order seen here at: www.babynamespedia.com/meaning/Caitlin

In 2007, Caitlin was the 33rd most popular girl's name. other spelling of it were not in the top 100. It's a popular name. I'm constantly hearing mum's shouting Caitlin, in the shops.

Prefer Caitlin. I used to live next door to a little girl called Katelan. She used to get Katie for short.

I have a Caitlin, pronounced Kate-lyn. In the last 10 months, I have seen it spelt Caitlin, Catelyn, Katelyn Kaitlin, Kaitlyn, Caitlan etc!!

Definitely Caitlin, as I have one

She is normally 'Cait' or 'Caity' and people (inc close family) spell it 'Katie' even when they know the spelling of her full name That really ticks me off, why can't they stick to her name or the abbreviation that we have chosen
