    Comment left Sep 06, 2008: "My best friend is called "Caitlin" and so am I. People call us Double Caitlins and no matter what anyone says, or even if sometime we're confused which one of us people are calling, I still love my name and my BFFL also agrees! (Y) - Caitlin Loline & Caitlin Torri = BEST FRIENDS FOREVER! x" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Sep 05, 2008: "We called our daughter Caitlin - she was born on 24 august 2005. It's quite unusual in the UK but not rare. Lots of strange modern spelling but I love the gaillic. She is Caitlin Molly Conroy so sounds very IRISH!" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Sep 03, 2008: "My name is Caitlin :)....funny that I have only met one other Caitlin (spelt that way), but plenty of other Katelyn, Catelin etc etc etc... I find that there are so many varitations, and it is almost ALWAYS spelt wrong. I love the name, traditionally this was how it was spelt, meaning pure. Traditionally pronounced Kat-leen (with an irish accent..), I really enjoy having this name, and far more unique than samatha, georgie, jane, jess etc etc :)" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Aug 31, 2008: "my name is caitlin..and i was born in 1996...which would make me 12...and i was born 6-6-96 and they say that im a devil..but thats not the point..the point is..i hate when they spell it wrong like caitlyn or katlin it drives me crazy..." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Aug 30, 2008: "my name is Caitlin :) i don't know anyone that spells it the same as me , but i know A LOT with the same name .. i'd have to say that i love my name & i don't think i'd trade it for any other :)" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Aug 27, 2008: "My name is Caitlin and people always spell it wrong or at least ask if they're spelling it right. How hard can it be? Most common is Kaitlin or Kaitlyn. People always think I'm going to say yes when they ask if it's with a K or C. When I tell them C, they say, "oh so C-A-I-T-L-Y-N. And I'm like NOOOOO! frustrating! And then if they spell Caitie, which some people call me, they either spell it catie or caiti or caity. i hate it! but i love my name i truly do. and you know what's weird? when people spell it on paper, they have trouble with the T and the L...sometimes they flip-flop it so it's like cailtin. i mean, come on! cailtin doesn't sound anything like caitlin! but i really love my name! haha even though it doesn't sound like it!" (Report as inappropriate)

No1 seems to spell my name wrong but have been asked a few times is there a I or a Y, or does it begin wiv K or C.. I like my name though Caitlin all the way =] x" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Aug 10, 2008: "Caitlin is an Irish name - there are no Ks in the gaelic language." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Aug 10, 2008: "I am a Caitlin and I haven't ever met more than one other Caitlin and I've lived all over the US. Spelling my first name is usually pretty easy except I go by Cat and everyone spells THAT with a K. I don't care about my name either way. I don't love it and it doesn't make me angry." (Report as inappropriate)
