I think they are great names, but I wouldn't forcefully shorten a beautiful name like Caroline to "Cara." I'd just call her Caroline.
This. I don't like Cara as a nn for Caroline. Caroline is a beautiful name and doesn't NEED a nn. Don't get me wrong, I love the name Cara, but if you like that, then just use Cara.
I love those names...very pretty. I agree that you shouldn't feel like you have to gave nickname for Caroline, but if you really want then I think Cara is fine.

Thank you! We don't "need" a nickname- I just know how my family is and how likely a shortened version happens to all of our names (seems to be a family trait!) - just want to be prepared! It's the NN I like best for the name, should one be used.
Thanks all for your feedback! It feels good to think we finally chose!!
