HelpRe: Carolyn
in reply to a message by Amandine
I've always prefer Carolyn to Caroline. I usually don't love the "-lyn" ending for names, but I think Carolyn sounds less harsh than Caroline. (I like the name Caroline, but I put it in a similar boat with names like Joan or Gretchen, names I like but I think are rather deliberately un-feminine sounding.)
I went to college with a Carolyn (I'm 30), but besides her, it seems most bearers of this name have been Gen X-era, mid-50s or older. I've never encountered a Karolyn in real life, but I think Carolyn looks more aesthetically pleasing.
As far as a comeback, who knows? I wouldn't hate it.
