Linnie (Lynnie? I guess I’m not sure of the spelling) is cute, and makes a little more sense then Callie, which doesn’t really stem from Carolyn. If I had to use Carolyn (nice name, just don’t love it) Id probably call her Linnie.

Caro
Carrie
Lynn (or Lyn to go along with the spelling in Carolyn)

I wouldn't scrap the name based on this, and I'm sure the OP already knows this because it's a family name. My grandmother's name was Caroline, and people called her Carolyn all the time. I don't think she really minded that much, but it took me a while as a kid to figure out if I had been mistakenly saying her name wrong!

I think Callie is my favorite! Shortened to Cal even. Annoying that people keep saying it's not a nickname for Carolyn. Molly is a nickname for Mary and Margaret. Nicknames don't follow some rigid formula. I think Winnie could even be an adorable nn for Carolyn.

Caro is my next favorite. Hate Lyn or Lynnie.

That said I think it's probably best to see what nickname comes out once the little person's actually earthside but I get wanting to decide now if it makes or breaks the name choice.
