I'm a "Colleen" born in Massachusetts. I was given the name as an Americanized variant of the Irish "Cailin." My Irish family members always pronounced it more like the Irish way (kah-LEEN); however, most people I interact with pronounce it kol-LEEN. The name is fairly common in the US but never used in Ireland, as I understand things.
