This one is for my mom. She loves the name Caroline. She asked me to name my daughter Caroline and when I told her I already had a name, she then asked my sister.
I agree with her -- it's a beautiful name. Classic and elegant.
And there's a song by Old Crow Medicine Show called Caroline that I love. Here are the lyrics...
They say you were born in St. Clare's Hospital, I say you were born up in the sky.
You come floatin' down over New Orleans to the sweet green levee on the riverside.
And your voice chirped like old squeaky shoes, and mama always said we had nothin' to lose, and so we danced on the street corner.
Oh Caroline. Heartbroken hard times, they never got us down. Walkin' the same line through every single southern town, hand-in-hand, your arm 'round mine.
Oh Caroline.
Oh I just love this song!
Our Baby Name Finder says Caroline means song of happiness. It comes in as 94th in popularity of girl's names in the US.
Has your mom or family memeber helped you pick a name for your baby? What comes to mind when you hear the name Caroline?

I love love love Caroline but sadly I can't use it. DH has 3 Carolina's in his family. yeah thats right 3. I swear every name in his family is used at least twice, so its been fun trying to avoid them, LOL
We have the name Emma Caroline picked out for our next baby if its a girl, we had it picked out since I was pregnant with Garrett. Caroline is my Grandma's middle name and I thought it sounded great with Emma.
i LOVE this name! i wanted this to be my next girls name but hubby doesn't like it
I LOVE the name Caroline. It is very elegant & classy. Unfortunatly I cant use it on my kids, because their names all start with a J & I cant leave one kid out. lol
I actually love this name! It's so pretty. I really want to name my next daughter (if I get one) Madeline, but if I can't get hubby on board, I might shoot for Caroline.
I went with the variant, Carolyn, for my daughter, but I love both names.
I love Caroline and want to use it for the middle name of my baby due NOW (Maya Caroline) but DHs grandmothers name is Grace and we used my Grandfathers name for the middle name of my son so I only think its fair to do Maya Grace (But now I really really want to go back to Caroline!!!)
My cousins name is Caroline and I do like it very much and her too! hee hee -- My Mom wanted me to name my son Shaun O'Mallory. Yes, she is Irish.
Yes Its such a pretty name, I didn't know the meaning, now I like it even more. I did suggest the name to Michele, and then to Jenni, but they already had names picked out But I must say that no matter what they name my new granddaughters I will love them beyond words and the names they are given
