All right, that’s it, I have had it, I cannot stand the injustice anymore…the name Caitlin is a Gaelic variant on Kathleen or Katherine and is pronounced Cat-leen not kate-lin. Imagine someone with an Irish accent saying “Kathleen” and there you have it. So to all you trendy yuppie jump-on-the-old-country-naming-practice urban dwellers, “Get it right!”
Thank you for allowing me this rant. Have a good day!

Actually, I am Irish, born, bred, raised… as in on the island of Ireland…. we ALWAYS pronounce it KATE-lin…. so you got it wrong…
Also, my friend in school was called Faolinn NaHalinhin [Pronounced Fa Wail In, Na Hal Nah Hin], foreign teachers always nearly cried when they came across her name on the role… Same as my friend Niamh Chakravarty [Neev Shack Ra farty]..
