Carrie. Or no nickname at all. The others are just nmsaa.

the name looks like a typo of caroline.

i like carrie.

if it's pronounced that way, you could go with lena or something along those lines.

Carolien just looks like a big typo.

I'd go with Linnie

Agreed. I'm pronouncing it "Caro-lee-in" in my head.

I gotta say it does look like a typo of Caroline. However, if that's how you're pronouncing it I would prefer Lena or something to Caro or Carol.

Hehe, I know.

I believe its origins are Dutch? It's for a story anyhow.

i really do prefer caroline, but i think that lena would be a nice nickname :)

[todaydream.livejournal.com]

Yep, it's Dutch :)

At a stretch you could use Callie as a nickname (I remember a tv show when I was young and there was a Caroline who they called Callie).

If it's for a story, and people are only going to read it... that makes the "looks like a typo" that much more dominant as a feature of the name, y'know?

[ex-bluebonn.livejournal.com]

Well, since this character is from the Netherlands, and that's mentioned in the story, I'll probably work in the pronounciation in there as well somehow. :)
