I love it, it's my mother's name. I plan on using it as a middle name.

I don't mind it, it's classic and feminine and ages well, though I wouldn't use it myself.

I like it enough and I can respect other people using it, but it's not one of my favorite. I'm not compelled to feel all that strongly about it; it just doesn't strike much of a chord with me.

I like it but it doesn't strike me as exciting. Just not something I get excited about. Also, to me it's perilously close to Carolyn, which was a popular name in my generation and that makes Carolyn, as usually happens, a name to avoid for me. Plus I had a weird friend named Carolyn. So no Caroline for me.

I love Caroline so much that I made it my youngest dd's mn (Anna Caroline). I wanted it to be her fn, but alas, it wasn't meant to be.

Sweet Caroline! I love it :) It's classy and timeless, up there with Elizabeth and Katherine xx Carrie is an adorable nickname!

It's on my list and has been for ages. I do think it's slightly stuffy and prim but it's also very beautiful and sophisticated. I like the nickname Cally and think it gives it a more wearable nature for a young girl.

I like it a lot better now that I live in the Midwest and not every other girl/woman is named Caroline (in fact I'm the only Caroline I know of here!).

---

If I weren't a Caroline, I don't think I'd like it enough to use it for my daughter, just because I'm not a huge fan of the image it brings forth in my mind, but I like it well enough.

I like it a lot as a middle name, especially for Eliza and Louisa. I wonder why it never got commandeered for a middle name? It works almost as well as Elizabeth or Nicole or Grace or Lynn.

It's stalwart, no-nonsense, very "Little House On the Prairie". I like it fine, but I don't think I would use it. Oh, wait- I could shorten it to Carrie, which I like. Maybe I would, then. :P

I chose it for my first daughter. I'd had another name in mind, but somehow she just looked like a Caroline - a name I hadn't even shortlisted.

So, to my surprise, I used it and love it. It has a light, dancing rhythm, and manages to be both sophisticated and playful. I far prefer it to Carol!

To be honest, for some resin the name has totally grown on me and I don't know why. I absolutely hate the name Carol, which is the base of the name Caroline!
I don't like it pronounced Carol-Leeen, I like Carol-line...
But I really like the name itself. I think it is pretty and sweet:)

I love it! It sounds classy and sophisticated to me. And it's one of those rare names that doesn't sound too old for a child nor too childish for an adult. Love Caroline!

It's kind of attractive, but to me it's always been a downbeat, kind of unhappy name.

I think it has a great historical significance and a classic appeal. However, I wouldn't use it because I have a bad personal association with the similar Carolyn.

I prefer Coraline, which somehow gives me a completely different feel and no bad association.
