Thoughts on Carrie?

[DDI]

Thoughts and impression of Carrie? It doesn't bother me that it's a bit outdated (as I'm not keen on the more modern popular names) but wonder if there is anything else that I'm missing.

I like it.

I love it, and I usually don’t like shortened names

Ha - I was thinking this as well.

I like the name though. I don’t like Caroline but I like Carolina. Sounds much nicer.

I would think of SATC before Stephen King. It’s a nice name. I dislike Caroline though so wouldn’t go with that.

If you don't like Caroline and Carolyn, how about:

Carol
Carina
Catrina

Carrie is a nickname- it's nice but seems insubstantial as a full name.

No. That’s my thought. It’s not the 70’s.

I like it! I think it’s a lovely name and doesn’t need to have a longer name.

It reminds me of Carrie Bradshaw, Carrie Johnson, Carries war? And in the Caroline flack documentary her mum calls her Carrie. None of these would be a problem for choosing the name in my opinion!

I think the materialistic nightmare in SATC has tainted that name.

Also, it’s a nickname. And a word which generally isn’t positive - having to carry something is generally a burden.

I really like it. I also like Cara!

Love Carrie.

Lovely as a nickname for Caroline. Not on its own.

Sister was called this-so I may be biased but I think it’s beautiful name. Christened Carolyn, Carrie for short

Carrie Johnson

Love it.

I really like the name Carrie.

I'd go for Carolyn or Carolina ( both lovely names) - more grown up for an adult female in the workplace and use Carrie as a nickname

more grown up for an adult female in the workplace

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the only Carrie I know is a very successful business woman, has done her no harm so far!

Pig blood

I know a Carrie who is actually a Carina if that is a longer name you’d like more than Caroline.

I have a close relative called Carrie. Not a shortening of Caroline or anything else.
She jokes about the Stephen King link as a way to make herself memorable! (Have heard her introduce herself “my name’s Carrie - like the horror movie!”) But I don’t think other people generally make that connection.
Loves her name as far as I know.

Bradshaw or blood springs to my mind

Carrie is lovely, as are Carina and Caroline.

I also loved the book Caddie by Catherine Edmonds.
Both Carrie and Caddie seem plausible first names to me.

My mind went to Stephen King immediately. I love Carrie Fisher but sadly that name is not a lucky one due to the Stephen King reference!

I also know one who is under 10. I would never have assumed it wss short for anything. Its not common either which I quite like.

Carrie is lovely. Bonkers to call a child a name you don’t actually to tend to use (Caroline in this case). Never understood that. If you like Carrie, go with it.
