[Opinions] A (maybe) interesting sidenote
I just remembered why the girl I was friends with was named Carolyn. Her father's name was Carl and her mother's name was Evelyn, and she told me that her parents thought that Carolyn was a way of combining parts of their two names. I know of one other case like this---a Marnie whose mother was MARguerite and father was ErNIE.

That's really cool, actually. I don't think anyone would pronounce Carolyn with a -line ending but I guess some people pronounce Caroline like Carolyn. I was wondering because Caroline is getting pretty common and if many people pronounce it like Carolyn that would be common too.
