This name has grown old for me

This whole "-lynn"/ "-aiden"/ "-ynn" trend is driving me nuts! They're so sickeningly twee and sugary, and talk about bland and uncreative. This name is tired. There are so many wonderful, classic names out there and we are wasting our time on these jokes?

"Caitlin", the spelling that I would go with, is the English version of the Irish diminutive of "Caitríona", "Caitlín" (KAHTCH-leen/ kahtch-LEEN). Why are we using pet names as given names in the first place?

Why not just Catherine, Cateline, or Catalina? At least they're formal names that can give way to many pet names.
