Some K names (that are also C names) are actually legit, though

It is the correct spelling if you're Polish, I believe.

I guess my post was redundant. Sorry.

While I sort of agree...Karolina is legit (it's the Polish, German, and a few others form), and so is Karol, though it's masculine- Karol on a girl would be odd, and I assume that's what you meant. It's not a trendy K spelling.I do agree that Carolina looks so much nicer! I'm tired of even legit Ks. Maybe that's really what you meant and I just misinterpreted because I'm tired- if so, I'm sorry!Carolina Hazel is lovely, by the way.

Thanks, glad you liked Carolina Hazel.I'm not from Poland, Germany, or a few others, so to me it looks entirely contrived. I understand now that it's legit. But unfortunately at first glance it grabbed me like the kreatyve names do. :)

ROFL and nicely saidIf they come from a language where K is the norm, sure. But randomly changing a C to a K is just silly.

Well, it's the German spelling, which seems less contrived to me than Karissa.

Karissa is also an alternate transliteration of Charissa from Greek.

This is turning into a "the more you know!" post. *g* I had no idea. I thought it was simply an alternate/modern version of Carissa.

Agreed and don't forget it's the standard spelling in Poland, Scandinavia, Hungary and Russia. There's a world of difference between Karolina and Kourtney, Kloe, Kasey, Konner and Karter which were created with a K just to look "cute."

There's a bit of a pronunciation difference, too, if you're in the states. Carolina will be pronounced like the state (Care-ah-line-ah), while Karolina is more likely to be pronounced Care-uh-leen-ah.
