Hmm, and I think of Caroline Margaret and Lydia as dated. But I don't think of Dorothea that way, maybe because I only knew one and know that it was used on a previous generation as well... maybe it's in where you are and who you've known.I will say that Caroline improved when I saw it on one of my daughter's gymnastics classmates, though I still think of it as Laura Ingall's mother's name.

Interesting. I know like 100 Carolines my age (22) and all around it, and several Lydias, and tons of Margarets...
