Caitlynn is a feminine name that represents a modern spelling variation of Caitlin, which itself is an Anglicized form of the Irish name Caitlín (pronounced Katch-leen). The original name derives from the Irish form of Catherine, ultimately from the Greek name Aikaterine, whose meaning remains debated but may relate to the Greek word 'katharos' meaning 'pure.' Caitlynn gained popularity primarily in the 1990s and early 2000s when alternative spellings of traditional names became trendy in English-speaking countries. The double 'n' ending gives the name a distinctive appearance while maintaining the familiar pronunciation. Common nicknames include Cait, Caitie, Lynn, or Lynnie. Though less common than it once was, Caitlynn remains a sweet, recognizable name with Celtic heritage.

Cressida is a golden, mythological, and Shakespearean name, much better known in Britain than it is in the US. Given to just 11 American girls in a recent year — though still the highest number on record — it shares the cool golden meaning of Aurelia, Orla, and Goldie, and offers cute Cassie- alternative nickname Cressie, along with Ida and Sid too. 
 
Ultimately derived from the Greek name Chryses, first via its patronymic Chryseis, then through Criseida, the Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio's spin on it, Cressida is the form that finally appears in Shakespeare's Cressida and Troilus. While she doesn't have the best of literary reputations — in the works by Boccaccio, Shakespeare and Chaucer, she is faithless to her Trojan lover Troilus and breaks his heart — the name remains a fresh, crisp, and arty feeling option today.
 In Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Cressida is a film director character; while in the "real world", Cressida Cowell is the author of the popular novel series How to Train Your Dragon and Cressida Bonas is an actress and model.
