Obsessed with Carrie

Girl Names
1

I am obsessing over the nickname [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] at the moment and am trying to find a longer name!

I love [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] and it fits so well in my list, but I have a friend named [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] who occasionally goes by the nickname [name_f]Carrie[/name_f]. Its not completely off the list but I want to find other ideas.

What do you think of Carrigan or [name_u]Carrington[/name_u]? I know they are more masculine and last namey but I think that a little girl is capable of wearing a strong name.

I’ve found but am not a fan of [name_f]Cariad[/name_f], [name_u]Carter[/name_u], [name_u]Carson[/name_u] or [name_f]Carina[/name_f].

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!

I love [name_f]Carrie[/name_f]! Especially as a nn for [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] but I understand your hesitation there. I’m not generally a fan of nickname names but I actually think this one stands well alone. You might also like:

Carlene
[name_f]Charlene[/name_f]
[name_u]Carmen[/name_u]
[name_u]Carmel[/name_u]
[name_f]Carmella[/name_f]
[name_u]Carmine[/name_u]
[name_f]Carolyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Carolina[/name_f]
[name_f]Carol[/name_f] / [name_f]Carole[/name_f]
[name_f]Carola[/name_f]
[name_u]Caraway[/name_u]
[name_f]Carla[/name_f]
[name_f]Charla[/name_f]
Carianne

I’ve always had a soft spot for [name_f]Carrie[/name_f], and I honestly think it works really well on its own! (Also, could I move this to #girl-baby-names for you? It fits better there.)

(I moved this to [name_u]Baby[/name_u] Girl Names so you would get more answers to the question :slightly_smiling_face:)

Caroline is super cute! I think [name_u]Carrington[/name_u] can work for a girl but I do agree that [name_u]Carrington[/name_u] feels almost a little too surname-y. Some other names with the nn [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] are…

Cara
[name_f]Carabelle[/name_f]
[name_u]Carden[/name_u]
Careen (or any spelling)
[name_f]Caryn[/name_f]
[name_f]Carissa[/name_f]
[name_f]Carlyne[/name_f]
[name_f]Carly[/name_f]
[name_f]Carlotta[/name_f]
[name_u]Carmen[/name_u]
[name_f]Carnation[/name_f] (may be too out there but still)
[name_f]Carolina[/name_f]
[name_u]Caron[/name_u] (pronounced exactly like [name_f]Karen[/name_f])
[name_u]Carson[/name_u]
[name_m]Carwyn[/name_m]
[name_f]Carys[/name_f]

Hope this helps :slightly_smiling_face:

I love [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] too and would choose that (great way to honor your friend!).

I also love [name_f]Carol[/name_f] and think of my aunt and [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] carols.

Maybe [name_f]Caledonia[/name_f], [name_f]Calico[/name_f], [name_f]Cara[/name_f], Caritas, [name_f]Carla[/name_f], [name_u]Carling[/name_u], [name_f]Carly[/name_f]?

I love Carrigan nn [name_f]Carrie[/name_f]!

Carissa, [name_f]Carina[/name_f] and [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] could have the nickname [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] maybe?

Thank you for doing that!

Catherine is an option.

Carrie is a name which can stand as a full name. A friend’s daughter [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] is now about 40, and of course there was [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] [name_m]Fisher[/name_m] (the original [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Leia[/name_f]). [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] is a very pretty and feminine name.

also [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] Ingalls from "little House on the [name_u]Prairie[/name_u]) Okay [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] Ingalls had the full name [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] from her mother, but she was know as [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] all her life. [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] has been around for a long time. If you do want an alternative what about [name_f]Charis[/name_f] or [name_f]Carys[/name_f].

Carolyn
[name_f]Carolina[/name_f]

Carrigan and [name_u]Carrington[/name_u] “[name_f]Carrie[/name_f]” are lovely! I know little girls named both of those, actually!

Carlisle, [name_f]Carly[/name_f], [name_u]Carlin[/name_u], [name_f]Cara[/name_f], [name_f]Carys[/name_f], [name_f]Carolina[/name_f]?
