HelpRe: Katilyn Vs. Katherine
in reply to a message by Emma
WDYT of Kaitlyn and Katherine indivdually?
I used to dislike Kaitlyn in all of its variations and spellings. More recently, I like Caitlin, but in general the name is much too popular for me and will soon be very dated. Katherine, however, is beautiful and timeless.
Which name do you think is better?
Katherine, by far.
Are these better as first or middle names?
Kaitlyn/Caitlin is a first name to me, Katherine can be either. I love it as a name, but can't see myself with a little Katherine or a Katie, so I usually use it as a mn.
Does Kaitlyn sound too modern?
Not too modern, just too "80s and 90s." I guess what I mean is that it doesn't sound modern or trendy, but if I heard of a girl named Kaitlyn I would assume she was born in the 80s or 90s.
Is Katherine too old fashioned?
Not at all. Katherine has been popular consistently for decades.
What is your favorite spelling of each?
Caitlin and Catherine
What would be some good combos with each?
Caitlin Simone, Caitlin Jean, Caitlin Mariska or Marisol, Caitlin Maureen, Ramona Catherine, Catherine Louise, Catherine Maria.
WDYT of the following combos:
Emma Kaitlyn
Anna Kaitlyn
I find them both to be rather commonplace. Not terrible, but not terribly exciting. That's ok, though, because Anna is beautiful for its simplicity. Emma is a name that, along with Emily, I'm just tired of hearing.
