    Caroline?

    How would you pronounce this name? Caro-Line or Caro-Lynn? Do you like it? Thanks!

    Caro-Line. For sure. But I know that there are bogans out there that do Caro-Lynn it. Frustrating.

    Also want to add that in 9 years, I have only ever come across 1 child called Caroline. OUt of a few throusand, I estimate. So definitely not common, which, as someone born with 1981's most common name, is a great attribute IMHO

    Yeah i would say Caro-Line. Its a nice name although i can't really picture a baby with that name, so wouldn't use it myself.

    I love Caroline, I think it's so grown up and beautiful!
    I would pronounce it Caro-Line ... I think Caro-Lynn should be Carolyn or similar.
    Definitely not - common!

    I have a friend called Caroline and she often got called Carol-lyn which she absolutely detests.
    When people forget my name they often go for Caroline.
    I don't mind it but I knew an older lady with this name and she was a bit funny so it doesn't work for me personally

    Caro-line though I do know of one lady whose name is spelt like this and insists on being called Caro-lynn - I have made the mistake of pronouncing other Caro-line's her way especially if I have recently seen her.

    I pronounce that as Caro-line.

    Except with this baby whose middle name is Carolin, which is pronounced Caro-lean.
