I hate it when people pronounce Caitlín like Katelyn. It's KAHT-leen, people, no Kate in there. That first "i" isn't pronounced, it's simply there to indicate that the following "t" is slender. And "í" has an "ee" sound - it's long, that's what the word fada means. The Katelyn pronunciation sounds diabolical to me. Caitlín is an Irish name, and people should at least attempt to pronounce it the Irish way. And I also hate it when people leave the fada (accent) off - it changes the sound.
