I hate the spelling.

It's kind of trendy, butI absolutely adore it especially with that spelling and the nn Kate.

Way too common.

I find it trendy. Kathleen is way better.

I really like the name, itself, but the spelling Katelyn isn't my favorite. Katelyn isn't bad, but I much prefer Caitlyn or Kaitlynn, personally. I love the nickname Kate :-)

I love it!Currently it's a top contender for a first daughter for me (Katelyn Jean). Pretty, with a couple of very nice nicknames.

My favorite spelling!! Katelyn, with the nn Kate.
My second fave spelling is Caitlin, with no nn. lol

I am really, really bored by it. I went through a brief phase where Kate wasn't totally boring to me. Also where -lyn was slightly charming. Both phases are over now. Do not want. Do you really want your child to be another Katie? Another one? I have met so many Katies and Sarahs in the past few days I can't even tell you.

I do like it.Katelyn has really grown on me and I do like the name. I would avoid Katie (as another poster said), but Kate is ok....as a nn.

Unbearably trendy, and overused.

Ick.
For starters it's a misspelling (and mispronunciation) of Caitlín, which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't ruined. When I hear it I imagine a bratty little child.
Sorry to be so negative, it's just one of my most hated names!

I also don't like it but instead of saying it's a mispronunciation/misspelling of Caitlin you could also say that it's just a combination of Kate and Lynn. Pronouncing Caitlin as Kate-lynn is wrong but I don't see anything wrong with using Katelyn as a Kate/Lynn combo. I don't like the name Katelyn anyway. It's way too trendy and there are 1 million ways to spell it. Kaitlyn, Kaitlynn, Kaytlin, Kaytlin, Katelynn, Katelyn, Kaetlyn, K8tlyn, Caytelynne etc etc which will make it so difficult for a child.

Unfortunately I've heard of way too many people named Katelyn/Kaitlyn/Kaitlynn/Katelynn/Caitlin etc. I do have to say that I do kind of like the way it sounds but it's far overused in my opinion.

Meh, its not bad but I am sick of it. I much prefer Katherine.
