Caroline is not so common. Most people say Carolyn. If they do call me Carolyn , I will correct them. The only people that call me Caroline are the ones I work with. My family calls me Carol. Although I had a great-aunt named Caroline, I was named after Caroline Kennedy and Princess Caroline.

I'm a Caroline in the UK. I never used to like the name but as i've got older It's grown on me. People often call me Carolyn by accident and unfortunately some people shorten it to Caz.

I changed my name to Caroline from Carrie many years ago. I have never regretted the change. I love my name. It is a name that I feel happy with as I get older. I like first names that are not so popular that they seem common or ordinary or that date a person, while at the'same time I like names that have a long history and are known in various versions throughout Europe. I also like to choose names that could conceivably be a name of one of one's ancestors, or someone who is really smart, or a king or queen. I also like the idea of choosing a longer name for a baby, giving the child the option of choosing a shorter nickname if they wish when'they are older. The name Caroline meets all of my stringent requirements.

I named my baby Caroline last year. She is now 15 months. It is a BEAUTIFUL name! Unfortunately, some people pronounce it Carolyn... which I dont understand because Caroline is not an uncommon name! But aside from that, I have been very happy with her name.

My name is Caroline. People often call me "Carolyn." I have even signed emails "Caroline," only to receive a reply that opens "Dear Carolyn," etc. While I have been introduced to only two or three Carolyns in my lifetime, I have attended school with over five different Carolines and encountered many more. I realize my experience is not representative of the greater population; however, I wonder how Caroline can be so common and yet so consistently mispronounced and misspelled.

I'm sorry to say but I am very glad that my name is Carolyn and *not* Caroline! People sometimes mistakenly call me or address me by mail as Caroline. I don't like any name that has the word line in it. At least Carolyn is a combination of two women's names,Carol and Lyn but line doesn't sound nice and no woman would be named line!

I'm French. My daughter, now 18, is called like that. You have to pronounce it Ca-ro-leen, not lyne. It's a very classical name in France but not so common now and I still love it but everyone calls her Caro (even me now!) and I don't like that nickname. The "o" at the end is hard contrarily to the -line in the entire name, so I hope you will not use that nickname. Do you have another one to suggest, and not Carole, that I hate❀️ Note that my daughter is so used to be called Caro that she told me a few days ago that she found it strange when I said Caroline!

My youngest daughter is named Caroline. My Dr. always asks if she fits her name "Sweet Caroline" from the'song. Most of the time she does, but at 2 the horror movie "Carrie" sometimes makes a showing. We picked this name'so that her personality would fit it with either name/nickname. I wasn't planning on calling her Cara but her older'sister'started that and we do sometimes too!

I LOVE my name - It's classic but not as common as other classic names. I am often called Carolyn and I never understand why people don't seem to get the difference between'the names. Carolyn sounds tacky to me, but Caroline is feminine and classy.

My name is Caroline, as well, and I adore it. I used to hate it when I was really little, and wished I had a really common name like Emily or Katie, but now as I teenager, Caroline fits me to a tee. No one calls me anything but Caroline, and though people often confuse it for 'Carolyn' and 'Carolina,' I always correct them and refuse to answer to either name. ^_^ At one point a friend tried to shorten my name to Caro, but that lasted only a few months before I was Caroline again. I think It's a beautiful name.

Caroline is my name. And It's the bomb. Until people pronounce it "Carolyn". And that's no good at all. But the name Caroline is common enough so that people have heard it before, but not enough so that there's multiple Carolines in classes, etc. I love it!

I am a "Caroline" and it is very frustrating to be called "Carolyn" or "Carolina". i've even had It'shortened to Caro or Carol. All of which are unacceptable. When I was younger, I would let it go, as I get older, I correct it each time. Growing up, friends would call the house asking for "Carolyn" and my mother would tell them they had the wrong number.

My name is Caroline and like many commenters have said, lots of older people call me Carolyn and even write it on papers, addresses, and in emails. I hate that pronunciation as It'sounds old and like a 40-60 year old aunt. No hate on 40-60 year old aunts, I just feel like a 19 year old shouldn't be called that. I also can't stand the'song "Sweet Caroline' because it was constantly played for me. Family tends to call me Caro or Liney, and i've used CeCe instead of Caroline C. when'there are multiple Carolines. i've had a significant other refer to me as Caro and Car, which I thought was cute but the latter always sounded weird to me. I think my name works for all ages and will continue to fit me as I age.
