I think it also means "beloved" from the Latin word carus because I know it as a full name only.

Absolutely gorgeous. Carrie is a good name because it's cute and simple. It reminds me of a blonde-haired girl and a song by Europe :D.

Carrie is the name of the older of my two American Girl Dolls (the other one is Hazel, for people like me who get curious). She has blonde hair with bangs and blue eyes. Her name is short for Caroline, which I got from my grandmother's name Carolyn, because Grandma Carolyn bought the dolls for me.
I still really like the name, even though I named my Carrie several years ago. I think it can be cute and innocent and adorable for young girls, but also sensible and smart and beautiful for when they get older. I also love the name Caroline, a gorgeous alternative if they don't like Carrie, and would only give this name to my daughter if it was short for Carrie.

I hated my name for the longest time due to the movie association. I was born in the 70's so everybody would always ask if my parents named me after the movie. But since then I have come to love it. I was the only Carrie in my graduating class and it's so uncommon now that is is unique. It's a very homely name and very American and traditional which describes me to a tee. Some part of me wishes it would get popular again though. I thought after Carrie Underwood it would, but nope.

Carrie Marie Underwood is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She rose to fame as the winner of the fourth season of American Idol in 2005. Her debut album, Some Hearts, was released in 2005. Bolstered by the huge crossover success of the singles "Jesus, Take the Wheel" and "Before He Cheats", it became the best-selling solo female debut album in country music history, the fastest-selling debut country album in Nielsen SoundScan history and the best-selling country album of the last 14 years. Underwood won three Grammy Awards for the album, including Best New Artist.
Her second album Carnival Ride followed in 2007. It had one of the biggest ever opening weeks by a female artist and earned Underwood two Grammy Awards. Her next album, 2009's Play On, was a commercial success led by the single "Cowboy Casanova". Underwood's fourth album, Blown Away (2012), earned her a Grammy Award and was that year's second best-selling release by a female artist. Her first compilation album (2014) was a chart and sales success and earned her a Grammy Award. Her fifth album, Storyteller (2015), made her the only country artist to have all first five studio albums reach either numbers one or two on the Billboard 200.

I'm the other Carrie that tried out for American Idol in 2004 for that season in 2005 when the Underwood chick won. I'm just glad it's spelled many ways so when I finally have a sex change, I will only need to change the spelling. Which is cool because I don't want to change my name. I just really hate being called missCarrie. It should be funny but since I feel I haven't accomplished much in life yet, it's almost as though it's true.

My name is Carrie and for the longest time I despised bearing this name. I just felt like this wasn't my REAL name. In school, when people would ask how I spell my name they would say "oh like CARRIE that crazy psychic girl" which bothered me so much that I now spell my name with a K. I've recently started to accept my name and am at peace with it. I now think it's kind ♡f pretty. (:

I can't hear this name without thinking of Stephen King's Carrie. It's a good book, but the character isn't exactly the best association. On the plus side, I do like Carrie Underwood. Still, I think this is better off as a nickname.

It is true that in America that Carrie, Kerry, Kari, and all other similar names are all pronounced the same. Occasionally you will come across a Kari who pronounces their name CAR-ee, and most people think the person is trying to put on airs. So CARE-ee is the common pronunciation. I now know a Carrie, Carey, Cary, Carie, Kari and Kerri, all girls.

I like this name, but it sounds kinda sad to me. Not because of the movie, I never watched the whole thing, I really don't know why. I picture someone like a nurse caring for the terminally ill, or the leading lady of a tragedy. But beautiful.

I have read in a baby name book that Carrie has the a meaning in its own right. This is 'womanly.'
Carrie has many different spellings, these include 'Cari', 'Kari', 'Carry' and 'Karrie'.
It is commonly chosen from the Steven King novel named 'Carrie' and is also commonly paired with Anne as a middle name, as the Hollies song 'Carrie Anne'.

One of my favourites. The pronuncations on this site are obviously American. In England this name is pronounced CA-ree. I understand that with an American accent, Carrie, Carey and Kerry all sound exactly the same!

I want to share a meaning of the name "Carrie" that I found years ago in a grocery rack paperback "Encyclopedia of Baby Names" by Globe Special Library. It states "CARRIE (Latin-French) Very pure in deed and thought." Also, in another source I don't remember, I read that Carrie came into popularity as its own name in the 18th and 19th centuries as a diminutive form of Caroline.
