🦢 if you had a daughter named caroline

[selaine]

as the title says!

what are your thoughts on her name and what do you envision when you hear it?

my middle name for her would be caroline joy

[EloiseT]

I have such mixed feelings about this name. When I read it, I think of the US: mid-century politics & glamour as well as bucolic scenes (Kentucky bluegrass etc, pumpkin pie etc). It has a natural authority about it - it helps with getting your voice heard, having this name. But I don’t love saying or using it in real life (I know three Carolines very well, one is a cousin!) and I’m not super keen on [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] or [name_u]Caro[/name_u] (their nicknames) nor the “Carol” sound. I prefer [name_f]Coraline[/name_f], [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] (all subjective of course) and might opt for [name_f]Joy[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] so it’s said in full as a middle and takes second spot.

I’m absolutely adoring this name at the moment (I recently met a lovely woman with an adorable tiny [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], so that probably helps). It has such sweet underused old fashioned charm to me. I think my [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] would be [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] or [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f]

I really love [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]!

[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is so elegant, refined, timeless, strong and refreshing. For me [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] has this southern [name_f]Belle[/name_f] relaxed feel. [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] lives in a small town in Kentucky, is a lover of horses, highly educated, wears pretty white vintage summer dresses and oversized wide brimmed sun hats. I like the country flair of [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] and I love the nickname [name_f]Carrie[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] is beautiful.

The name that is really springing to my mind to pair with [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is [name_f]Grace[/name_f]. Completely predictable but I love the idea of [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f].

Oh, [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]. I love this name.

I’ve known three Carolines well. The first was a girl I did not like in elementary school. [name_u]Eh[/name_u]. That association isn’t much compared to the newer two. The second and third have been immensely positive influences on my life. One, a senior in high school when I was a freshman who made me so happy and who I loved so incredibly (still do—I’ll never forget him). The other, a mother I babysit for who is a friend of two of my dearest friends! They are so kind, so warm, so intelligent—and they both have gorgeous eyes. So that’s [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] to me: good-hearted and warm, caring, watchers out for the little guys, lovers of friends and friends-made-family.

All this to say… I love the name.

If I had a little [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], I would like to name her [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Louella[/name_f] or [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_u]Merit[/name_u]. I’d like to call her [name_u]Coco[/name_u] for short.

The Honor!!!

This is more a note to myself so that I can remember the reasons I like [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], and why she is such a good honor for me.

1. Silent ‘e’ ending!
2. Same meaning as [name_u]Charles[/name_u], another important name to me.
3. ‘-ine’ ending like [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]!
4. E, R, C, and every letter of [name_f]Claire[/name_f] (important letters and name to me)!
5. Feminization name, like my favorite author.

I love weird, indirect, and absurdly personal honor names, so I’m having a ton of fun with [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]!

[Greyblue]

[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is one of those names that gives me several different vibes at the same time:

• classic, elegant, strong
• literary, 19th century vibes
• dated in the UK
• southern US vibes

I do like it for all the nickname potential though!

Your [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] is sweet - bright and zippy!

I think I’d go for [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f]

[lucy_halo1]

I like [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u].

[BabyNameOpinions]

I absolutely love Caroline!!! It’s been 2nd on my list for ages, and was there even before my top pick [name_u]Hazel[/name_u]. It’s so pretty, yet sophisticated and ages well

I envision someone who is stylish and confident, soft and kind. If I were to describe with emojis, I’d choose:

[name_f]My[/name_f] baby Caroline’s middle name would be probably be [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], or some other family name. Her nickname would be [name_u]Coco[/name_u], matching the warm, cozy, chocolatey vibe of her big sister’s nn Hazelnut

[namenerddoglover]

@BabyNameOpinions The nickname [name_u]Coco[/name_u] for [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is amazing!!

[heartwings]

I feel like as a name, it is very American. And classic American too. Reminds me of old fashioned Hollywood films or of bucolic American [name_u]Southern[/name_u] imagery.

I often dream I have a little girl named [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], as I just love this name. I met a girl, her name was [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] M@regret and everyone called her [name_f]Lina[/name_f] which I thought was so cute!

Who I would imagine to be a [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]

What she would be like…

Blonde hair, blue eyes and a sweet soul. Loves horses and is forever playing in the garden with her sisters.

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] combos would be [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Mazie[/name_f] or [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
