[Opinions] Re: Carolyn and Caroline
in reply to a message by I Love Jesus
For me, it would depend on how close I was to this person. Then again, if I loved the name enough, I'd probably use it anyway.
Does your Aunt Carolyn go by her full name? Other than the spelling, I'm assuming the pronunciation will be different as well.
BTW, I have a niece named Emily. When she was around 3-4, my sister's SIL asked permission to name her dd Emma. It was considerate of her to ask and my sister easily agreed. Besides, the SIL and fam were on their way to Australia where they lived for around a decade. When they moved back to the States, they were still a long distance from my sister and her family and it hasn't been a huge deal. Sometimes, distance makes things so much simpler!
