Hmm...this one is tricky! See, I would say Kaylyn is good, but the "y"s are so close together that it looks a little awkward. So then I thought, what about Kaylynne? But there's the same problem with that one.


I do think, though, that Kailyn or Kaelyn might cause some pronunciation confusion.


I'm not typically a fan of hyphenated names, but what about Kay-Lynne? That really shouldn't present any confusion at all as to how the name should be pronounced!


Or maybe something like Caylin? I don't know if you're set on using the "K" instead of a "C", but maybe that would work. I think it also looks a little exotic...islandish...it reminds me of the novel, The Cay.


Or else maybe Kaylin...but for some reason, I think I like it better with the "C".


Well, best of luck to you!

My vote goes to Kaylyn (which isn't on your poll).

Thank you everyone for the great suggestions. I really like Kaylin I never thought of that, and I think it will eliminate the mispronounciation. I like Kaylyn too, but I think the "Y's" are a little close together.

My dd is Kaelyn, it's never mispronounced. Kaelin got my vote.
