Caitlin.

:)

Of the two, I prefer Caitlin with the nn Cait.

---

I actually prefer the spelling Katelyn though. It could have the nn Kate or Katie.

I have a Caitlin "Caity" in the class that I teach, and I think it looks just fine.

---

However, I much prefer Katelyn "Katie". Far less ridiculous than Kaitlyn, and also an original spelling as it's Kate + Lyn.

Of the two, I prefer Caitlin, though my personal favorite is Caitlyn (which could be a compromise, since it has both the 'c' and the 'lyn').

---

I think the Caitie spelling looks awkward with Kaitlyn, and in general, with the nickname, I prefer the 'k' (Kate is even nicer imo).

Well, my name is Kaitlin. I prefer this over the 'y' spelling, but unfortunately it's almost always misspelled. Caitlin looks the best, in my opinion, although I agree with you on the 'Catie' spelling.

---

Whatever you choose will be better than Katlinn or Katelyne, both spellings I've seen before!

Caitlin. Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin. It still bugs me because it shouldn't be pronounced "Kate-lynn", but it's loads better than Kaitlyn. You could still use the nn 'Katie', much like Thomases usually go by Tom, not Thom. I don't think it's a problem.

I prefer the spelling Caitlin, and I don't think Caitie looks ridiculous. You could also spell it Catie, or Caty which I think looks fine too.

To me, Caitlin is the only acceptable way to spell this name. Everything else looks trendy and made up. I have seen Caity as a nn before and I don't think it's ridiculous. Not anywhere near as ridiculous as Kaitlyn anyway!

Katherine/Katarina/Kataline/Katalina nn Kate/Katie?

---

Katherine / Katarina / Kataline / Katalina nn Kate?
I think Katherine nn Kate is lovely and would age well. Kate is more of a grown-up nn she could use when she's older.

---

I prefer Caitlin to Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn looks trendy and contrived in itself. It also looks a little childish I think.

Caitlin nn Cate or Katie

Kaitlyn

Caitlin is a nice spelling. I think Catie doesn't look right, but Katie is nice. I prefer the nn Cait or Cate though.

I like Caitlin, but Kaitlyn doesn't look as nice to me. Plus that's a more common way to spell it, in case that matters to you. You could still spell Katie that way though, although I personally think it would be fine to spell it Caity or Caitie (although she'd have to spell it to people...). What about just Cait or Cate? I have a particular fondness for Cait which may or may not be related to a video game. :)

Caitline nn Catie

Caitlin (I prefer this) or Katelyn, if you MUST have the nn Katie.

I much prefer Caitlin. Mostly because Kaitlyn will get shortened to Katie / Katy, which I really dislike (I prefer Cait or Kate).

Caitlin.

I actually grew up with more girls named Kaitlyn... I only know one Caitlin. Kaitlyn's more popular, if that's a turn off for you. Honestly, I wouldn't care either way.

I only knew one Kaitlyn who went by a nickname too. She spelled it Katie, but there were so many Katies she started spelling it Kaity.
