Help[Opinions] Re: Caroline and Coraline?
in reply to a message by KrisMichelle
I like both names, but I think Coraline is too Neil Gaiman for a real child. Smart, classy Caroline is my favorite anyway. I'd use Carrie as a nn for Caroline and Cora for Coraline.
For me, the issue is really in the sound, not the letter, so if I had a Caleb, I think I'd avoid C names unless they start with the soft C (S sound) instead of the hard C (K sound.) More than anything, this would help me not stammer over their names and mix/smush them up. In theory, I don't think there's anything wrong with two siblings' names starting with the same letter because I don't think you get into cheesy Duggar-style theme naming until three sibs or more share a first initial. Of course, if you only have two, that sure looks like a theme... This is my rambling way of saying I'm not sure! LOL
