Those are both weird spellings. The traditional way is Carrie.[/quote]

Two different names- or is that a regional pronunciation thing?  Kerri and Carrie, to me, are pronounced completely differently[/quote]

That must be regional.  I grew up in the PNW and we pronounced those two names the same way.[/quote]

Completely different names.   Pronounced different.   Carrie is usually short for Carlott, Caroline, etc.    Kerri (Kerry) is an Irish name.  [/quote]

Not different names at all, pronounced exactly the same. All the Carries I know are stand-alone, not nicknames. [/quote]

We've been through this. If you are in the Central and Western part of the US or some parts of Canada they sound the same because language has shifted in what is called a "vowel merger". If you are in the Northeast or anywhere else in the English speaking world, or if you are a linguist, they are distinct. [/quote]
