Carrie was a name I really liked when I was a kid. Then, I didn't like names the same way I like them now -- I didn't have reasons or ideas about them; I just picked them. It's not on my list now, because my tastes have changed to be a bit more fanciful.
I still like it as an independent name, but if it was my own name, I think I'd like to have a longer name "on paper" as well.
I like
Carolina and
Caroline best, but it could also be a nick for
Carys,
Carole, Carolee,
Carina,
Caren, or
Cara.
