I prefer Kaitlin, as stated before I'm just not a fan of -lyn endings. However, I think you should go with Kaitlyn, because that is how you've spelled it in every post, and really I think deep down, that is what you feel your baby is named. :)10 point scale (I based this on sound and flow with your last name, mostly):Kaitlyn Alexandra Faith: 7
Kaitlyn Alexandra Paige: 7
Kaitlyn Alexandra Claire: 10
Kaitlyn Alexandra Pearl: 9
Kaitlyn Alexandra Odette: 9
Kaitlyn Alexandra Brooke: 6
Kaitlyn Alexandra Juliet: 10
Kaitlyn Alexandra Felicity: 6
Kaitlyn Alexandra Elaine: 9
Kaitlyn Alexandra Elyse: 9
Kaitlyn Alexandra Aimee: 4
Kaitlyn Alexandra Leigh: 7
Kaitlyn Alexandra Charlotte: 6Kaitlyn Alexandra Juliet Wilkinson is my favorite. They are all lovely, classic names. I think the flow is good here, and the sounds don't repeat themselves. I think Juliet adds a delicate, feminine touch to this name.

Thank you so much, you've been a really big help. You're right I do prefer it spelled Kaitlyn but every time I use it people always say why do you spell it Caitlin. I just prefer it with a K and someone did suggest Kaitlin, I had considered Kaitlyn or Caitlyn. As you've noticed I have posted this a few times now but on one post people like a bunch of names and hate the others but then on another post people will like the names the last post hated and hate the ones the other post liked, which makes it difficult. I've found rating them and opinions about each set to be more helpful.

You're very welcome. Naming a baby is a big thing.You want to like the name. You want everyone else to like the name... but it in most cases it is such a subjective process.Some people will love that their children have familiar, popular names, or just love a name so much it doesn't matter (how I currently feel about Isabelle). Others would cringe at the idea of using something like that.At this point, I really feel you've decided on Kaitlyn Alexandra, the third is really just what feels right to you. I feel they are all good names, some will like certain combinations better, some won't. Keep asking questions though, until you get to that point. :)

I find Kaitlyn, Kaitlin and all their variants overused, on the way out and unattractive. I also don't enjoy the rhyme with Wilkinson. So instead of giving a rating out of ten, I'll give up to three +s and down to three -s - OK?Kaitlyn Alexandra Faith - again, a rhyme. Kai- and Fai-. The flow is fine. -
Kaitlyn Alexandra Paige - again, a rhyme. -
Kaitlyn Alexandra Claire - just an eye-rhyme this time, which is much better. Clare would rate ++, and Claire a +
Kaitlyn Alexandra Pearl - doesn't appeal to me at all, so --
Kaitlyn Alexandra Odette - a very ornate combo. --
Kaitlyn Alexandra Brooke - Brooke? Dated, and better with Kaitlyn than with Alexandra. --
Kaitlyn Alexandra Juliet - Better with Alexandra than with Kaitlyn. ++
Kaitlyn Alexandra Felicity - very long, especially with a long ln. -
Kaitlyn Alexandra Elaine - rhymes predominate. Nope. --
Kaitlyn Alexandra Elyse - why not Elise? What do you hope to gain from a butchered spelling in a position where it won't even show? Elise ++, Elyse --

Normally I prefer the correct spellings for names, however for Kaitlyn I like the spellings of a few variants, Amy/Aimee I like both but for a middle name prefer Aimee and I only like Elyse with this spelling. Just a pointer about what you said about Elyse/Elise you've gone and done the same with Claire/Clare.

My explanation would be that Aimee and Claire are both French and Amy and Clare English. Elise is pretty well international, but Elyse has a trendy y spelling which is I suppose typically American. And I am not, so it looks silly to me.

Kaitlyn over Kaitlin.I think three name combos can easily tend toward ridiculousness, so I would definitely err on the side of a shorter third name. My favourite is Kaitlyn Alexandra Paige.

6/10 - Nice enough name, but the name Faith just seems a bit abrupt at the endKaitlyn Alexandra Paige
5/10 - The name Paige doesn't really flow with the other namesKaitlyn Alexandra Claire
7/10 - A really pretty name, but doesn't flow perfectly with Kaitlyn AlexandraKaitlyn Alexandra Pearl
3/10 - Not a fan of the name Pearl and it really doesn't suit the other two namesKaitlyn Alexandra Odette
3/10 - I just dislike the name Odette and it really doesn't suit the other two namesKaitlyn Alexandra Brooke
4/10 - The name Brooke just seems out of place Kaitlyn Alexandra Juliet
