That’s my name :) in the 90s, I think it was ranked around #250 in the US, so I almost never met anyone with the same name, but it still didn’t feel super dated. I agree with my parents that CaroLINE has too harsh of a sound and they didn’t like that it was so common.

Glad to hear a young Carolyn! I was worried that it was dated. My dad has a coworker named Carolyn. I dont hear it much as Caroline or Carolina.

I JUST looked up the 2018 ranking woah had no idea it’d dropped to like 800!! My year it was just 276! (but yeah.. I guess it’s been over two decades since then). I know one or two other Carolyns in their 20s or early 30s.
