Do not call my daughter Caitlyn

AP reports:
A year after Caitlyn Jenner announced her new name and gender, the popularity of the name Caitlyn plummeted more than any other baby name, according to Social Security's annual list of the most popular baby names.

In fact, the four names that dropped the most were all variations of the same name: Caitlin, Caitlyn, Katelynn and Kaitlynn. ...

All four versions of Caitlyn fell out of the top 1,000. ...

Wattenberg said it would be wrong to blame Caitlyn's drop in popularity solely to the fact that Jenner is transgender.
Yeah, that would be wrong, but no one wants his daughter identified with Jenner anyway.

I wonder what Dylan Thomas might have had to say?

There are a bunch of names that are used by both boys and girls. Not so many that are overtly tied to transsexuals.
