| Carolyn or Caroline is the feminine of Charles [It and Sp]. There
was also a Romanian king, King Carol II who reigned from 1930 to
1940.

| I figure this is close enough.
My name is Carol (Carol Anne, by the way). I have always liked
my name, and I am surprised that it is not more common. My father
told my mother, "you can name her anything as long as it is common
and spelled in a common way."
I have almost always gone by Carol, but in camp one year in Missouri
they saw my whole name and called me Carol Anne, and I looked at
my grandmother and she looked at me, and we both liked it so we
didn't say a word, and that became my name that summer. I also
enjoyed it in school when someone would call me Carolyn, although
I prefer Carol. It was a nice change.
I never had another Carol in my class, and when I met another Carol
her middle name was almost always Ann(e), Marie, or Jean.
It has been said to mean "strong and womanly" or "a beauteous song".

| 33.3 | Aren't all Carol s called Carol Ann? | 39682::HAMMOND | | Wed Jan 20 1988 17:18 | 14 |
| I'm another Carol Ann (although no e's...)
It's interesting that you haven't come across it too often. Although
Carol is of medium popularity in my age group, almost 90% of all
the Carols I've met are Carol Anns....
For the record, my family, relatives, etc. have always called me
Carol Ann (my mother's preference) but it's always been Carol at
school, work, etc.
I hated the double name when I was a kid but now I kind of like
it.
I haven't come across a baby named Carol yet though....

| I would have considered the name Carol for this next one due out
soon. However, it is my husband's sister's name, which would be
a bit much. I like it a lot, not too common now, but a nice name.

| 33.5 | Our names will be unique 15 years from now! | 39682::HAMMOND | | Wed Jan 20 1988 19:15 | 12 |
| re: .4 You're right about it not being too common today. As mentioned
in other notes, it seems like everyone's trying to get a different
name for their kids.
As a result, Susan, Mary, Kathy, Debbie, Paul, Mark, etc...
all the names from our generation will be unique when they grow
up.
There's going to be a zillion Jennifers, Megans, Christophers, and
so one (names which I really like by the way but are very popular.)

| Couldn't let this one go by ... I think Carolina is a
wonderful name. I'm sure the fact that I'm from N.C. has
nothing to do with it whatsoever. Actually, the name of the
state is from Charles II of England. The Latin equivalent is
Carolus, and the feminine of that (I guess states are
supposed to be feminine) is Carolina. I have heard,
however, of people being named after the state.
Interestingly, I've always loved the name Charlotte. Now
that I'm actually living in Charlotte, however, I'm not sure
I would want to name a baby that. Guess I'll have to wait
till I get transferred. If I go North, maybe I can name a
baby girl something like Billerica (where *did* that name come
from anyway?).
A little trivia ... Charles (and all its derivatives) comes
from a word meaning man. So, if your name is Caroline or
Charlotte or whatever, it means man! Same thing applies to
Andrea, the feminine of Andrew -- which means manly.
