My first name is Carolyn and as I'm sitting here reading your post I think this is the first time I've realized that I have never met anyone with the mn Carolyn! Caroline, sure but not Carolyn.
We're into more classic names -- definitely nothing super trendy. Carolyn was DH's gma's name, so we want to honor her memory by using that as the mn. I like Lucy and Violet out of the names mentioned but DH has already vetoed Violet.
Re: First names for mn Carolyn
Mia Carolyn
Bridgette Carolyn
Leila Carolyn
All of these are names that I would love to use but DH vetoed :-(
What is your style? Are you looking for classic?
