Jack is a bit plain, I prefer Jacob. Caroline is terribly outdated, a la Gertrude to me, Olivia is lovely, but I prefer Oliver on a boy, and Livia on a girl. I like the nn Ollie too.

Caroline is hardly outdated. It is #74 on the social security baby names list for 2004, and at #20 for my state. It's been a steady classic through the years, unlike Gertrude, which had a peak then practically fell off the charts.

I find Caroline very out dated sounding, probably as much as Gertrude. As a kid I had two turtles, and since I expected them to live to a very old age I gave them two "grandmother" names: Gilberte and Caroline. Sorry, just my opinion.

Actually, I would group the names Caroline and Claire in the exact same traditional, classic category.
