Irish Names

In keeping with articles related to Ireland for St, Patrick's Day, CNN has a piece on how to pronounce Irish names:

Personally, I'd prefer using more phonetic spellings when they're in English for English speakers. But that's me.

I believe I’ve heard that the name Kaitlin (Kate-lin) is just a misunderstanding of the way Kathleen is spelled in Ireland.
