Caitlin vs. Kaitlyn vs. Katelyn

Hello. I'm not looking for which is your favorite spelling of this name, but im looking for the MOST common popular spelling. Which is the absolute most basic way to spell this name, that's the way I want to spell it. Which is most likely to be on every keychain at the souvenir shop? According to Google, Caitlin was the original it seems. The "all" feature shows there have been 1214 polls with this spelling. There have been 1513 polls with Kaitlyn and 1302 with Katelyn. If there's another spelling that is more common that I'm forgetting please let me know.

I feel like this could be a regional thing. Thinking of all the ones I know personally, I believe Katelyn is most common. And several are called Katie.

Just because Kaitlyn or Katelyn may be the most popular spelling does not mean it's the best. Zoey may be more popular but Zoe is a ton better.
