I have always loved this name and chose it for my daughter almost 3 years ago! She is
Caroline Julia but other combos I considered were:
Caroline MaeCaroline MaeveCaroline FaithCaroline w/ my maiden name
I think the pronounciation of Ker-o-line sounds a bit southern, my pronounciation of it is more like Ka-ro-line or even Ka-ra-line. But always, always pronounced to rhyme with wine.
Surprisingly, never much liked
Carrie,
Carol, and
Carolina is fine for a state but not big on it for a girl's name.
