If Caroline sounds too retro or common for your little star, try out the girl's name Caraline, its rarer cousin. This trendy pick is rooted in the German name Charles and means "free man." Although a bit vague, this translation will inspire baby to reach for the stars, manifest, and bring their biggest dreams to life! No mountain is too high, and all that good stuff. Caraline comes with its own built-in nickname, Cara, or Cawa, while baby's still perfecting that pesky 'r' sound. Either way, this sweet-as-pie choice may just be the one you've been looking for. Some notable people who share this name include model-slash-actress Cara Delevingne and Caroline Duffy, the leading lady of the 90s sitcom Caroline in the City.
