Growing up, there weren't many other Carries around, and I liked that. Dealing with people mis-spelling it or mistaking it for another name was worth it, as I liked having an unusual moniker.
My parents compiled a shortlist of names before I was born, including options such as Jocelyn and Erin, before settling on calling me Carrie.
