Help[Opinions] Re: Caroline and Coraline?
in reply to a message by KrisMichelle
I'd choose Caroline, simply because I've never of heard Coraline being used outside of the context of a book or a movie. Caroline is a well-rounded name, and thus could suit an academic, an athlete, a prom queen, or any myriad of other personality traits. With Caroline, I wouldn't use a nickname, although one could use Carrie as an alternative.
Honestly, I think it's alright to give two children names that begin with the same letter or sound, as long as the full names differ enough in pronunciation or length. If you love a name, use it. That being said, it would be ridiculous to give three or more children names with the same starting letter, because then the pattern would become excessive and deliberate. I think it represses the children’s individuality within the larger family unit, making each one more of an object or a cutesy spectacle rather than a person.
It's one thing to coincidentally like two names that begin with the same letter. It's another thing entirely to intentionally create that effect.
(hope that makes sense. my brain's frazzled)
