Recently came across this name on the show, Say Yes To The Dress: Bridesmaids. They pronounced it Care-oh-leen-ah on the show. I LOVE the pronunciation. It's so spunky. The combo I came up with is Carolina Maeve.


What do you think of Carolina? Carolina Maeve?

It's beautiful! I love it! Carolina is gorgeous and although I'm not a big fan of Maeve, they go very well together :)

I like it a lot. I don't like it pronounced care-o-line-a. But as it like care-o-leen-a, I love it!!!

I think it's cute, especially pronounced that way. I have to think about it though - since I'm from the Carolinas I automatically think Care-oh-line-ah. Ah, habits I didn't know I have :P

I actually went to high school with a Karolina (pronounced the same way). I think Carolina Maeve is adorable and has a great name, but I see it and pronounce it like the States.

I like Carolina and pronounced as you said! But I definitely think there would be people who'd assume its like the states. And Carolina Maeve is so lovely!!

I have to agree with you all! Being from the Carolina's as well, I too want to right out say it like the state. But thank you guys for your inputs!

I think it is okay. I know a girl that pronounces it that way, but it is spelled Carolena.
