Caro/Caero?
It was a nn for Caroline in "The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood." I think its cute, but I would like some opinions- and, even if you hate, which spelling do you prefer?ETA: I would use it on it's own, I'm not terribly fond of the name Caroline...

Caro would work as a nickname. Caero sounds/looks like Cairo...for a nickname it sounds a little odd.

It makes me think of Caro syrup. :-/ If I met someone with the name, I could see it growing on me, but it seems odd as a formal name on its own. I'd prefer to see it as a nn (what about Carolina, Carolyn, Carola, or Carol?), but I do like Caroline and would probably use it without a nn.

I know a lady who works at the drugstore, and her name is Caro. Don't know how it's spelled. It's a nn, I don't know how she got it because her real name is Martha.I don't like it because it reminds me of Karo syrup.

I know a Judith Carolina "Carolina" and often "Caro"!She is Guatemalen and the Spanish word for expensive is Caro, so it's slightly funny.Anyway it's cool, I like it. I definitely like it more as a nickname for Caroline or Carolina, though, because those are the only two "care" names I can stand. I think it can stand on its own, maybe? I like Caro better.

I love the name Caro, even as a name by itself instead of a nn for Caroline / Carolyn (though I do like it as a nn for Caroline too). I think it's a gorgeous name.Caro is the spelling I prefer.

Definately Caro, especially if it's a nn for Caroline. The extra E in Caero just seems contrived.
