i dnt remember if id mentioned this before but my absolute fave girl name is Caroline! The only problem is that my dads sister's name is Carolyn. Is that too close for relatives?

Maybe you could use Caroline as a middle name.

Not at all. It's almost honoring your aunt in a way. My mom is Anne and my cousin (who we see often) is Anna, and this has never caused a problem.

I don't think so.

No, because...
In my opinion, Caroline and Carolyn are pronounced differently. Caroline is Care-O-line whereas Carolyn is Care-ah-lyn. They are a bit different, but still close. Unless you see your aunt all the time I don't think it is an issue.

I think it's ok, especially if you don't pronounce these names the same way.
But obviously, it also depends on the kind of relationship you have with this aunt. I like the name Viviane but I don't see myself using it for this reason. If you are close to her then it is nice, if you aren't I wouldn't bother, it doesn't really look like there was a connexion in my opinion (and she will probably know it).
