Kailyn vs. Kaitlyn



Helen was the person who came up with the name Kailyn for our baby girl. It's a name that many of our friends and family member say they like. We are also fans of it, since it's unique enough to be different but also close enough to other popular names like Kaylee, Kayla and Ke$ha (j/k.)



One name that it is particularly similar to our baby's is 'Kaitlyn.' Before selecting our baby's name, we did some research to see what the internet reaction to our potential name selection was. Many of the people with the name Kailyn said the biggest issue they faced was that everyone mistook their name for 'Kaitlyn.' They said it got to be kind of a pain to always correct people, but that overall they were very happy they had such a great sounding yet original name.

Some people told me when they learned our baby's name they wondered if I had made a typo. Rest assured, our baby's name is Kailyn. Just remember it as 'Kaitlyn', minus the 'T.'
