I don't know her well at all but I've always liked the name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley/page/2#post-2230959 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 07:24:32 +0000 Finfan 2230959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keepcalmcarrie: They are definitely both pretty. Caroline is my leading contender. Just need to get DH on board! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley/page/2#post-2230849 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 22:32:04 +0000 cheesetomywhine 2230849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keepcalmcarrie: Interesting! Thanks for sharing. I wonder if it is regional as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley/page/2#post-2230847 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 22:26:55 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 2230847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Finfan: @cheesetomywhine: yeah, I get the "line" all the time. As I said, I think that's pretty too. It is more common now for "lin" to be associated with Carolyn. But I guess, traditionally, it was the short "i" sound with the traditional spelling. Like Catherine, Jasmine, etc.</p> <p>My mom gets super huffy about this, because everyone "mispronounces" my proper name. But since 99% of the time I go by my nickname, it really makes no difference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley/page/2#post-2230819 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 21:38:03 +0000 Finfan 2230819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheesetomywhine: That's my reasoning too. I think it's more likely to be pronounced -line in this area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley/page/2#post-2230786 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 21:06:21 +0000 JennyD 2230786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO is Hadley :)</p> <p>We didn't think there was an easy nickname but we call her Hads a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley/page/2#post-2230753 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 20:32:12 +0000 cheesetomywhine 2230753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Finfan: For what it's worth I'd pronounce Caroline with line at the end. Carolyn gets the lin sound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley/page/2#post-2230745 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 20:26:44 +0000 Finfan 2230745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keepcalmcarrie: I like them both, possibly leaning slightly towards Caroline? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley/page/2#post-2230682 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 19:17:12 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 2230682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My name is Caroline, nn Carrie, so I'm partial ;) How would you pronounce it? I prefer "Caro-linn," (think Kennedy) to "Caro-line," though both are pretty. And I think it pairs so nicely with Eleanor (and "Nora" is so, so cute!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley/page/2#post-2230674 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 19:09:20 +0000 mfa_lady 2230674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an Eleanor, too! I can't decide if I like Caroline or Hadley better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230665 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 18:48:36 +0000 anbanan15 2230665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Finfan: Well that makes sense not to use it :wink: It is one of my favorite names! Great choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230663 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 18:44:38 +0000 FannyMae 2230663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Caroline, could use Carrie as a nickname. Ivy is also nice, its a very "now" name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230644 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 18:00:30 +0000 Finfan 2230644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: Eleanor is DD1's name so that's why we are not using it. It got popular right after she was born (of course!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230643 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 17:59:20 +0000 Finfan 2230643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: we would probably use a nickname with Caroline, at least some of the time. We are nickname people. DD1 goes by Nora, but she is named after a family member. </p> <p>I really like the name Hattie but DH would prefer it not to be the full name. I don't care for Harriet or Henrietta so I thought I would see what people thought about Hadley. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230632 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 17:42:12 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2230632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ivy is my favorite of the names, but I think Caroline pairs best with Eleanor.</p> <p>Or, Hattie is a cute name in and of itself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230629 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 17:35:03 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 2230629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think those three names are pretty different style-wise. Since your first is named Eleanor, I think Caroline fits best with it. </p> <p>Do you use a nickname often for Eleanor? Would you use one for Caroline?</p> <p>I'm not a fan of Hadley with Eleanor, but if you wanted the nickname Hattie, there's Henrietta. I like that it plays off the currently popular Henry name for boys and has the nicknames Hattie and Etta. Just a thought. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230596 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 16:53:34 +0000 Meowkers 2230596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love both Caroline and Ivy but voted for Caroline since we only got one vote. But I like them equally. I strongly dislike Hadley. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230552 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 16:05:21 +0000 Ra 2230552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a fan of Hadley but I love both Caroline and Ivy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230547 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 16:02:07 +0000 cat620 2230547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Caroline! It sounds classic and very pretty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230516 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 15:36:00 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2230516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Carolina is one if my favorite names, but I chose Hadley because it feels more modern to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230383 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 14:17:55 +0000 lady grey 2230383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted Hadley but also love Caroline! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230381 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 14:15:06 +0000 Bubbles 2230381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like Hadley, Ivy would be my runner up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230350 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 13:49:38 +0000 cheesetomywhine 2230350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Caroline is beautiful...especially with your DD's name! My runner-up is Ivy. I love that name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230347 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 13:47:32 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2230347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always been a fan of Caroline :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230346 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 13:46:54 +0000 Truth Bombs 2230346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always loved the name Hadley so that's what I voted for but I would just call her Hadley as opposed to a nick name. Caroline is a classic, beautiful name so you really can't go wrong there. But I'm not a fan of Ivy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230340 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 13:43:10 +0000 NovBaby1112 2230340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Caroline!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230306 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 13:19:23 +0000 Pancakes 2230306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Eleanor and Caroline are perfect together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230276 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 12:57:54 +0000 birdofafeather 2230276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Finfan: oh then i love caroline! they are similar style and go so well together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230267 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 12:51:46 +0000 MrsRoo 2230267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hadley!
