Yes. Sweet.

It certainly is! Will she get annoyed though when everyone sings the song.

boysmuminherts · 04/10/2023 12:14

Perfect <3

MoserRothOrangeandAlmond · 04/10/2023 12:18

My sister is called Caroline, I've always loved it! It's a beautiful name

Fifthtimelucky · 04/10/2023 12:25

It's a beautiful name and very under-used these day I think. Go for it!

Iheartpizza · 04/10/2023 13:59

I really don't like it but I do like Hazel!

Iheartpizza · 04/10/2023 13:59

Also she might get called 'Cazza'

Sweet Caroline or immediately I sang Outcast in my head 😶.

Caz is an awful shorting of name too.

Ilikeyourdecor · 04/10/2023 14:16

I love it, it was on my list.
I've never met one who shortens it to anything. Certainly not Cazza!

WhatHappenedinLondon · 04/10/2023 14:18

Love it, would have used it if I could

SoShallINever · 04/10/2023 14:38

It's a perfectly decent name but does sound dated to me.

CC222 · 04/10/2023 14:43

Great name but I'm biased because that's my name 😂

yikesanotherbooboo · 04/10/2023 15:18

Lovely classic name that feels current without being trendy . Yes .

Marcipex · 04/10/2023 15:52

Lovely name, not keen on Carrie though.
I do like Caro as a shortening, but all the Carolines I know are called their full name.

BugsyDrakeTableScape · 04/10/2023 15:54

It's a no

muddyford · 04/10/2023 15:58

Love it.

SummerWillow · 04/10/2023 16:56

My boss calls me Cazza! Also had Caro and Cara. People also often call me Catherine by mistake.

Mimilamore · 04/10/2023 17:22

Yes... both lovely names

SunnieShine · 04/10/2023 17:23

Lovely name.

ranoutofquinoaandprosecco · 04/10/2023 17:29

I'm a Caroline and always thought it wasn't very unique, but I like it now. I don't like it being shortened though!

user1492757084 · 04/10/2023 04:14

Yes. Sweet.

Sweet Caroline.

Mirabai · 04/10/2023 18:53

Hell no. Carolina is fine though.

theduchessofspork · 04/10/2023 19:20

Yes very elegant

Callie is a nice nn also

GoldenOldies · 04/10/2023 19:22

Mirabai · 04/10/2023 18:53

Hell no. Carolina is fine though.

It’s practically the same name
It comes from Charles too and has the same meaning, just a different vowel on the end and slightly different origin (Latin vs German)

I'm Caroline and I like it. Unfortunately I often get called Caz or Cazza neither of which I'm keen on. I did have to ban the song at my wedding.
