Too many people MISPRONOUNCE it as CAROL-LINE so that I thought I mispronounced it... However, I do not suppose you should emphasize the LINE...
My name is Caroline, and I really like it. I find it to be really pretty and feminine. But, I have found that everywhere I go, people pronounce my name wrong, and I don’t even understand how that’s possible. It’s so simple and easy to say, yet I get Coraline all the time, Carolyn, Kathrine, and so much other stuff. It’s CARE•O•LINE. If you know a Caroline, please pronounce her name right, because getting all these other names is just weird. Sorry for my little rant lol!
My name is Caroline. I've heard it pronounced every single way besides how you actually pronounced it. CARE-OH-LINE.
I pronounce it CAROL-LINE (long I) instead of CAROL-LIN.
I'm a Caroline and prefer the pronunciation Kah-Ro-Line, CARE-o-line tends to be the American pronunciation which grates a little. I have to say the most irritating version I get is car-line. Despite all this, and referring to myself as Caroline always, my parents and family have always called me Carrie, lol!
I haven't seen the Dutch pronunciation of the name. Me myself am Dutch, and the Dutch way to say this name is most likely;
"ka-ro-LEEN-ə" or "ka-ro-LEEN-e".
Common name in Scandinavia. We pronounce it CAROH-Lih-neh.
In English pronunciation the name Caroline is not pronounced KER-o-lien. It is always pronounced KAR-o-lien. I also have to agree with many of the comments about being called Carolyn instead of Caroline. It's incredible laziness to not listen to how a name is pronounced. I grew up as the only Caroline in my school, but there were many Carolyns. So I got lumbered with that, and I loathe the name Carolyn. Just awful.
In Sweden we pronounce it the original French way, kah-ro-LEEN. It is also spelt Karolin, but Caroline is the most common spelling.

I have a friend with this name and she pronounces it like Carolyn.
