[Opinions] Re: Jack, Caroline, Olivia
I LOVE John (nn Jack), Caroline and Olivia. They are all classic, traditional and classy names. My kids are John and Caroline. Everyone comments on how beautiful and feminine Caroline is. It is not outdated AT ALL and could never in a million years be compared to Gertrude. I can not tell you how many compliments I get on my kids names because they are not unisex or made up or pretentious. I think the three names you mentioned go together well.

You have good taste. My daughter is Caroline too. :)I get lots of compliments on her name also.What is your daughter's middle name? (I'm always interested in what people choose as a middle name with Caroline).

What state do you live in? I live n Bucks County, PA. I have no idea what number it is for my state. How do you find that out?

If you go to www.socialsecurity.gov, click on the portion for the baby names list. You will see an option for "top 5 by state". When you click into that, you will see another option for "top 100 by state".

My daughter's middle name is Mary (after my mom, Mary Jo). What is your daughter's mn? Why did you name her Caroline? My husband and I taught a Caroline Mary (he had her in 2nd and I had her in 3rd) and we fell in love with her. I love how feminine and classic it is. I think Caroline Grace sounds pretty though.

My daughter is Caroline Julia. I have loved Caroline since I was a little girl, and it makes me think of Ma on Little House on the Prairie. Caroline Grace sounds lovely, but both our grandmothers had sisters named Grace so we felt it wouldn't be right. But I think of Princess Grace, Princess Caroline. And also on LHOTP the baby sister was Grace! So some names just go together.
Julia was kinda-sorta for my DH's other grandmother, who was always called Jean but it said Julia on her birth record. But I just really liked it.

Julia is lovely too. Grace is really overused as a middle name. I think of royalty when I think of Caroline. That Miss Claire cracks me up, she uses every opportunity she can to say Caroline is like Gertrude. Have you seen the names she likes???!!She is a piece of work. Figures, she is French.
