How to honor family name Carolyn with an updated name

Girl Names

Hiya!

I’m looking to somehow give a nod to the name [name_f]Carolyn[/name_f] without using THAT name.

I like [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], but it seems harsh or clunky to me for some reason.

The types of names I love are usually simple, like: [name_f]Tess[/name_f], [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Elise[/name_f].

[name_m]Just[/name_m] wondering if you Berries have any good ideas to honor [name_f]Carolyn[/name_f] without using Caroyln or [name_f]Caroline[/name_f].

THANKS!!

I love [name_f]Cara[/name_f].

3

Well, THAT was an obvious choice I had overlooked. Thanks! And it’s short…I like that…

4

Yep, I’d say [name_f]Cara[/name_f]. Or really any name with the same meaning, like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], which feels similar to [name_f]Tess[/name_f] on your list.

5

What about [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] or [name_f]Coralyn[/name_f]?

6

Anyone else have ideas for me? :slight_smile:

7

[name_f]Coralie[/name_f], [name_f]Carys[/name_f], [name_f]Calico[/name_f].

I have never liked the [name_f]Cora[/name_f] names, unfortunately.

[name_f]Callie[/name_f]
[name_f]Carlie[/name_f]
[name_f]Carry[/name_f]
[name_u]Charlie[/name_u]
[name_f]Lili[/name_f]
[name_f]Lotty[/name_f]

10

I like [name_f]Cara[/name_f] for you! Another idea is [name_f]Calla[/name_f].

11

Or [name_f]Carly[/name_f] you my even go for [name_f]Carolina[/name_f].

12

[name_f]Carrie[/name_f] is lovely, or you could use the “lyn” part and change it into “[name_f]Lena[/name_f]”?

13

If you focus on the [name_u]Caro[/name_u] part, I think you have gotten most of the workable suggestions. You could also use [name_u]Lyn[/name_u]

14

[name_f]My[/name_f] name is [name_f]Karolyn[/name_f], but I go by [name_f]Karly[/name_f]! : )

15

I really love [name_f]Calla[/name_f]- it’s on my short list. But I’ve never considered it as a way to honor the name [name_f]Carolyn[/name_f]. That’s really interesting, thank you.

[name_f]My[/name_f] fear with [name_f]Calla[/name_f] is that it’s TOO unusual or odd. Or sounds made-up?
