I like it. I never see it as Carol + Lyn but as a version of Caroline.
I adore Caroline but can't use it as it rhymes with my surname, whereas Carolyn doesn't (I pronounce them differently, whereas Americans seem to pronounce them the same).
Carolyn is less classy than the beauutiful historic Caroline, but I'd consider using as a mn it to honour a Caroline, my grandmother's sister. It seems a tad too dated for me to put in fn spot.
I have known one girl called Carolyn Mary and one called Caroline (middle name unknown) at my school.
