As someone who’s spent a lot of time in the UK, I feel bad for anyone who went with the nickname “Carzie”

We have a Nathaniel who is regularly called "potato" - it went from Nathaniel to Nate to Nate-o to potato. Our Jack is "bean" - Jack went to Jack-o went to Jack-o-bean went to bean. Kids are rarely called by their proper names, at least around here. You can never predict what someone will be called. Carolyn is lovely and I'm sure whatever you call her will be adorable!


I don't know any kids around here who don't go by their proper names or a predictable/standard nickname for their full name (like Ben for Benjamin). I'd say most kids in my circle go by their full name and don't have a nickname at all.

While people name their kids Callie its not a name unto itself. Its etymology is diminutive of Caroline.

My name is Carolyn, I have never had a nickname. I do not like to be called Carrie, K-Lyn, Caroline, Carol, or Carrie-Lyn. Carolyn is a beautiful name and I prefer to be called by my given name as my mother choose that name for me. I am in my 50's and came from a large family, most of my siblings also go by their given names even though there are very common nicknames for them like Barbara, Teresa and William.

Why would you revive a thread from 1.5 years ago to post this?? I always wonder how people do this- do they search for something and then just respond without regard for the date? The baby in the OP has long ago been born and named.


I stand corrected- just looked to the beginning and the OP is 6 years old!!! The little Carolyn certainly has a nickname by now.

I’m a Carolyn and a childhood nickname was CC (my initials)I always wanted to be a Carly but it never stuck. Now that I’m older I could see myself using Carrie, Cara, or Caro
