I'm in the US Midwest/ Great Lakes regions, and I say them the same, too.

I'm from the Northeastern US and I say them the same. But my sister who is from the same place (naturally) does not say Carrie the same way that I do. I know this because at one point my niece had a friend named Carrie and my sister was also friends with Carrie's mother and so my sister mentioned Carrie quite a few times. I say both Carrie and Kerry so that the first syllable sounds just like the word "care", but my sister said Carrie so that the vowel sound in the first syllable was like the one in the word "cat". Pretty much so that Carrie sounded just like the word "carry." Maybe some people pronounce Carrie like "carry" and Kerry like "care-ee" or vice versa.
