Once Upon A Time, I briefly liked Caitlin. What turned me off was that I wanted to call my dd Katie and I didn't like any K spellings of the name because they just seemed wrong. Kate spelled with a C seemed equally wrong. I never knew Katelyn would take off in popularity the way it did (ditto with Kaitlyn) because at the time (1988), I pronounced it with three syllables (like Madelyn). I didn't know anyone with the name and had no idea of Caitlin's popularity. I'm so glad I never used it. My girls went to school with lots of them (various spellings). Among all the Caitlins (et al), there was one Kathleen and it really stood out to me.
