I was almost named this, when my parents thought they might live in France (I was born in Brazil, they named me Catalina instead). They heard it pronounced KAHT-leen there, with a teeny schwa-ish sound between the two syllables, which I think is beautiful. Sometimes I use it as an alias on websites or chats.

I think it's a prettier, more elegant alternative to Caitlin, which I like as well. Just as long as people don't try to screw up the spelling like they so often do with Caitlin (Kaitlyn, Caitlynn, or Katelynn could turn into Kateline, Kaitline, Kateleen....)
