I prefer [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] personally. [name_f]My[/name_f] middle name is [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], and I do like it, but the sound is a little lispy to me. I prefer [name_f]Kate[/name_f] or [name_f]Katie[/name_f]. More importantly, I think Catherines tend to go by nicknames much more often than Carolines so if YOU don’t prefer the [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] nicknames, I’d go with [name_f]Caroline[/name_f].
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] does feel a bit southern and slightly more on-trend than [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] but neither characteristic is overwhelming. She’s mostly just classic and classy!
