My opinion-Caitlin, pronounced the American way, is pretty much an accepted version of the name.(Irish posters may certainly disagree!)Sort of the same thing-The town/city of Launceston in England is, I've heard, pronounced "Launce'ton." The Australian one(Tasmania) is always said as "Laun-ces-ton." these things evolve, I suppose.

"Irish posters may certainly disagree!"Don't worry, they probably wouldn't! The kate-linn pronounciation is fairly well accepted in Ireland, too- at least in Northern Ireland, I've never been to the South, but would assume it's the same there.
