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]

I'm a late-70s Carrie, short for Caroline. That was my mom's doing. She started it when I was a baby. I've only met one or two other women who are Carolines going by Carrie.

I have never heard anyone pronounce Carrie/Kerry/Carey/Cari/Keri differently.

Carrie rhymes with scary, so Kerry rhymes with....? [/quote]

Carrie rhymes with Harry (not pronounced Hairy) and Kerry rhymes with Ferry (not pronounced Fairy). [/quote]

[/quote]

Carrie, Harry, Kerry, Fairy, Carey, Keri, Hairy, Mary, Merry, and "marry" are all pronounced the same.  [/quote]
