[Opinions] Re: Jack, Caroline, Olivia
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.
