There's no data that suggests that Caroline is getting popular.

It's in the top 100, it is popular. It is in the top 20 in some states, as far as I know.
Yes, but it's been in the top 100 since 1994. And since then it's fluctuated, going up and down, but not by much, for almost 20 years. Therefore, it's not *getting* popular. And I guess I don't consider #88 popular. Genesis is #89 and I surely don't consider that popular. Mariah, Natalia, and Naomi are all in the top 100 too, but I don't consider them to be popular names.
I guess it depends on how we define "popular," so it's kind of pointless to discuss a name's popularity if we don't agree.
But I'll agree with you that it's definitely popular (in the top 20 or so) in some states, my home state for one. I think DC also, and I bet that's because of Caroline Kennedy.
