My name is Caryn. It's pronounced Car-in like car in the garage. My parents got it from a Swedish newspaper. I love the way it's pronounced. It's unique. Although people like to call me Karen.
I am told by a Welsh woman this was a common name in the 1920-30's in Wales. She says this was the favored spelling, I don't know if it was her opinion or fact, but I love it. It sounds the same as Karen. This personality can be sneaky but has a very tender heart and loves very deeply.

I like the name Caryn, it is a name not a lot of people have and it's pretty.
I simply adore this name. It's the only spelling variation of "Karen" that I like. It has a natural, fun, and intelligent feeling to it. Not to mention, with such an interesting spelling you're not likely to find too many kids in the same school with this name.
