Karolina
I asked a little while ago if I should use Carolina or Carolena based on the fact I wanted it to be pronounced care-uh-LEE-nah. Thanks Steph for the idea of Karolina. It looks really pretty and should be pronounced right. I'm not sure what names would go good with it, here are some I like with it, WDYT??
Antonia
Daniela or Daniella
Georgia
Gabriela
Tatiana
Eliana
Britta
Jordana
Any others?? Any boy names??

I would still pronounce Karolina like the states. Since it has four syllables I would use a shorter mn. If you really want the -lena pronounciation I would spell it that way, most people will assume it's with the -line pronounciation (cah-ro-line-ah).
I still prefer it with the C. Caroline/Carolina spelled with a K looks harsh.

I have a friend--who was born in Costa Rica--named Karolina (care-oh-LEE-nah) but she goes by Karol. I think Karolina/Carolina are pretty but Carol/Karol, not so much. Lina is nice.

I would pronounce Karolina just like Carolina if I saw it. I much prefer Carolina, no matter how you intend to pronounce it.

I personally would still say that like the state name.

I still think Karolina may be prn like Carolina (as in the state). With spellings these days (ex, my mom had a boy in class named Decodah (Dakota)) I still think if people would say Care-o-LIE-nah for Carolina they would say it for Karolina, but if you like the spelling I still thnk it's nice, I just don't think it will automatically alleviate the problem. of your list I love the names:

I think you may want to spell Karolina with an "e" instead of an "i" to get the "LEE" sound you wanted. As far as siblings.....
Daniella, Gabriella, Tatiana, Eliana all sound good with Karonlina.
Also, maybe...Estella, Georgianna, Gianna, Alora, Lorina, Isabella.....
