[Opinions] Re: Caroline/Carolyn
in reply to a message by Emily
I prefer Caroline. I don't mind Carolyn, but it doesn't sound as pretty and classic as Caroline. It also sounds too much like carolin' (like the word 'caroling' without the 'G'). I hate it when people pronounce Caroline the same way as Carolyn. If you use Caroline, your daughter might be called Carolyn by mistake, but I don't think that it would happen all that often.BTW Carrie is a cute nickname.

Only sometimes my daughter has been called Carolyn, but it hasn't been a proble. Although, a funny story was when I was in labor, we had told the nurse we were having a girl named Caroline and when I was pushing she was saying, "come on, Carolyn!" In the back of my head I was thinking "It's CaroLINE!" but I just didn't have the strength to correct her at the time!
