Carolina vs. Karolina
We’re thinking about naming our daughter Carolina/Karolina, which is pronounced kah-roh-LEE nah. My sister’s name is Caroline, my MIL’s name is Carolyn, and my great-aunt is Lena, so we thought the name would be a nice way to honor everyone. Which spelling do you think will be pronounced correctly most often? Or, is there a different way that you would spell it?

Carolina/Karolina are going to be pronounced the same, but not the way you want them to be pronounced. They will be pronounced like the state. If you want kah-roh-LEE-nah, you’d have to go with Carolena. No matter what, don’t spell it with a K---it looks tacky.

Spelling it with a K is not tacky, its European way. My name is spelled with K instead of C and I get lots of compliments :) but I agree Karolina or Carolina will get pronounced Kah-roh-line. I suggest Karolena

Carolina. I would pronounce it the way you said, but only because my cousin’s little girl is Madison Carolina, Carolina being hispanic (her husband is Colombian).
Carolina is a lovely way to honour everyone. You’re lucky; we have all horrible names in our family (Marjorie, Valerie, Agatha, Judith). All very dated and just not very nice! We had to go for initals only! So we have Amelia Jane and Victoria May! Worked out well as we both love our daughters’ names and we still honoured everyone, although it’s not obvious.
