Funny, my dd, Anna Caroline, wants to change her name to Coraline after the movie. When I told her no, she said she'd name a future dd that instead. Hopefully, she'll change her mind. It's okay -- I just much prefer Caroline. Coraline might be a diminutive of Coral but I still see it as a variant of Caroline for some reason. Also, I dislike the sudden trendiness of Coraline. It may just take off a la Ava or Ella.

I like Anna and Sophia individually but together, the 'an' and 's' sounds (Anna So) immediately remind me of 'anus.' I always correct my thinking but it's a knee-jerk reaction of mine.
