[Opinions] Re: Caroline...
in reply to a message by Caroline
is considered modern and international in Sweden. When I hear the name, I expect a young woman, about 20 years old. The nn is usually Carro. It is pronounced as "Kah-ro-LEEN" in Swedish, more like Carolyn. It is also spelt Carolin or Karolin. Karolina and Carolina are other variants (Kah-ro-LEEN-ah). Carolina Klüft is a very famous sportswoman in Sweden.
Old-ladyish is different in different countries. I think Catherine is also considered "old lady" in France.
"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)
