It's personal preference and regional differences, I think.
Carolina likely falls in with
Elmira,
Elvira,
Maria,
Sophia, etc--that the correct pronunciation used to be LIE-nah, but since the Latin pronunciations have become more known, the general consensus has changed or is changing. Someone else may feel free to correct me, though.
I prefer
Carolina pronounced like the state.
