This is an ugly name in my opinion and it is also outdated as well.

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.
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 love the name Carrie! :3 It's so cute and pretty and sweet. ♥.

I have mixed emotions about this name. Growing up I had an older friend whom I idolized, so I named all my dolls and things Carrie after her, lol. But then there's the Stephen King film and Carrie Underwood... I don't know, I don't like it as much anymore.
My name is Carrie and I personally love it. I don't seem to like any other spelling of it. I think that a person's name is very influential to that particular person. I can't imagine being named anything else.
Despite being featured in the top 100 at one point, the name Carrie has since fallen out of the top 1000. In 2012, it was only given to 154 baby girls in the US.
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.
There are like seven different ways to spell this name, but out of all of them, this is my favorite. It's actually the only one I like, it sounds the most dignified.

Carrie is cute, but I liked it a lot more before Carrie Underwood came along. She's so annoying, sorry. My favorite would have to be Kerrie. Carrie is incredibly boring to me, but Kerrie is different and beautiful.

I just do not like Carrie. This is the worst spelling, I like Karri better.
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 quite like Carrie as a nickname for Caroline. When I portrayed Caroline in a high school production of 'Guys and Dolls', my best friend nicknamed me 'Carrie' :P
I have come to really like this name. It is very pretty and underused now. Wonderful name!

At one point Carrie was just an okay name but the hype over Carrie Underwood irked me and the name lost the little interest in it I had. I'm not too fond of it anymore.
The only Carrie I knew back in school was always teased and called Harry Carrie. This has always stuck with me. With that aside I don't think it is a bad name but maybe better as a nickname.

Carrie is a nice name, but there are so many alternate spellings and wondering of whether the bearer is male or female that it can get a little confusing.
