Question: Is KATE-lyn supposed to be pronounced as KAT-e-lin or as KAYT-lin with this key http://www.behindthename.com/pronunciation.php ?

---

I would assume KAY-lee to be spelled Kayley but I would prefer the spellings Kalee or Cailey.

---

I would assume KAT-e-lin to be spelled Kattalin and KAYT-lin to be spelled either Caitlin or Katelyn. At the same time those are my favorite spellings.

---

I would assume HAY-lee to be spelled Hailey (on a girl) and that is my favorite spelling.

---

I would assume KAY-lin to be spelled either Cailin or Kaylyn. I slightly prefer Cailin but I'm not a fan of the name in general.

---

Cateline: kaht-LEEN

---

Yes, I think it's wrong to pronounce Caitlin or Caitlín as KAT-e-lin. I'd pronounce Caitlin as KAYT-lin and Caitlín as KAHT-leen.

---

I think Cateline is ok.

---

HAY-lee: Ok. Trendy but not trashy.

---

KAT-e-lin: I would always wonder whether that is Katelyn mispronounced. Katelyn (prn. KAYT-lin) would be ok, btw.

---

KAY-lee and KAY-lin: A little trashy, I suppose.

---

I do not know any people with any of the names above because I do not live in an English speaking country.
