Caroline vs. ’line’ vs. ’lin’
Hello. We posted earlier on about the name Caroline and someone mentioned it might get pronounced Carolyn as opposed to Caroline. How would you pronounce it? If you have an extra moment, could you say where you’re from, as it will help us decide whether pronunciation is going to be a problem where we are! Thank you

I’m from the UK, my name is Caroline. I only once had a problem with it being said ’lin’ not ’line’ and it really wasn’t a big deal. Other than one person when I was 15, everyone has said Caro’line’.

I’m from the Pacific Northwest and here both spellings are usually pronounced "lin" -- same goes for Madeline/Madelyn (would be pronounced the same here). I think Caroline is also much less popular here than in other areas of the country. However, if I saw it in print I’d be tempted to say "line" because I *know* that is the correct pronunciation.
