- Personal experiences with the name Kaylen
My eldest daughter is Kaylen. I took it from the Gaelic word "cailin" meaning girl, changing the spelling in hopes she wouldn't be called Caitlin by mistake, but unfortunately it didn't help. Her name also gets pronounced with a 'southern' split as if it were a combined name, like Kay-Lynn. She loves her name and doesn't mind the mistakes, it just makes it that much more special to not have a cookie-cutter name.
