I named my second daughter Cailin. I was also afraid that she had a mispelled name but most people pronounce correctly. She is the only Cailin spelled that way that I know of!!!

My daughter is "Kali" She was named that because it was a 35 hour labor and in Hawaiian it means "Hesitating" It's also the Hindu Dark Haired Goddess of Destruction (of evil)
