I like it. It's cool and kind of chic. Makes me think of a smart woman who lives in New York in the 90s.

I never understood the hate it gets.

The meaning doesn't matter. Caroline, Carly etc. mean "man" and no one has a problem with that.

I just hate hate hate Maddie.

Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that Caroline and Carly mean "free man" and that it is sort of odd to hate Madison just because it means "son of...".

The way I see it it’s kind of like how people used to use “man” to refer to mankind to humanity in general. A free person. Or like the meaning of Alexander, defender of mankind. Not literally talking about a man. But as far as I’m aware Charles just means “man”.

Or maybe that’s just me.

I always thought Carla, Carl, Caroline etc. meant "man" as in "man". I think the one that means "mankind" is Alexandra, Alexa etc.
