Comments for the name Carolyn

Carolyn's a nice name but I'd rather hear Caroline.

Well, I might be a bit biased because this is my name, but I really like it. It is simple and pretty. It is uncommon enough to be somewhat unique, but it is common enough so it does not get confusing and is not considered weird.

Carolyn Keene was the pseudonym under which the authors of Nancy Drew wrote.

I much prefer Carolyn over Caroline. The former is prettier, more feminine (IMO).

I love this name. I also prefer Carolyn over Caroline. I find the name Carolyn much softer and not so snooty sounding.

This is my grandmam's name, and I like it a lot better than Caroline, although both are okay. The name was really weird in her time. I also like Karolyn although I've never been too fond of C names spelled with Ks.

I might be a bit biased too, but I really like this name. Despite the fact of my way of spelling it (two N's) I think it's very unique and not very common.

Nice but too many people have the name! But it's a good name though just too popular.

This was my grandmother's name and she was born in the 1920's. She was named after her grandmother who was named Caroline. I had wanted SO MUCH to use this name but had three boys! I think this is a lovely, classical name.

I know for certain that Carolyn is not a modern variant of the name. My grandma's name is Carolyn, and she's in her 70's, meaning that, although this name is a variant of Caroline, it is definitely not a modern one.

My name, as you can tell, is Carolyn. A lot of people call me Carrie and Caroline. Carrie's nice. Caroline... it's ok but I don't really like people calling me that.

This name has quite a nice ring to it. Caroline does as well, but the 'ine' gives it a harsh droning sound, which sort of spoils it.

This name has a really vivid sound to it. Kind of macho.

This name got super popular in the '40's, especially in 1942, when it was #10. It's very pretty, and ages well unlike most names ending in -lyn. I like both Carolyn and Caroline, Carrie is a pretty nickname :)
