Carlin/carlyn after a family member named Caroline? I've been watching bringing up the bates and it's really growing on me

Really horrible, sorry

Why would you want to associate your daughter with the Bates family?

Carlin Howe... Cheapest Beer in Britain. Not keen, sorry.

I know a Carlyn and a lot of people mistake it for Carolyn which annoys her.

I don’t really have a strong opinion on the name itself but definitely prefer the Carlyn spelling as it seems more feminine.

Carlin - as in sister for Boatlin, Buslin and Lorryin - definitely not.

Charles or Carl would be a male link to Caroline.

As in Carlin peas? Was my first thought, so no.

Scarby9 · 29/07/2021 22:17

I quite like the sound but my immediate connection was carlin peas.

My sister is Karlyn. It's such a pretty name!

Really not a fan, it reminds me of Carling too much
