In the 70s TV show "Little House on the Prairie", the character Charles Ingalls, as played by Michael Landon, pronounced his wife Caroline's name as "Carolyn." Why, I don't know. I don't know if it was decided the character would do that because that's the way Caroline would be pronounced in the Midwest in the nineteenth century, or if it was because that's the way the actor pronounced it. That's the only time I've heard Caroline pronounced that way.
