Correct Pronunciation of "Caroline" Kennedy

It is the morning after the opening night of the Democratic Convention.

I remember the 1960s and President Kennedy.  I have always heard
his daughter Caroline's name pronounced "Care-oh-line" in accordance
with the spelling of the word.

Now I am hearing young TV talking heads pronounce her name as
"Care-oh-lynn," which I think is incorrect.

Which is it?

Welcome to English Forums!

I've always heard it as KAIR-uh-line.  (not linn)

Car-o-line...not Car-o-lin.      The latter is spelled Carolyn and is a variant of Caroline.

There were Car -o - line's in european aristocracy for generations so that's a thought! Queen of England for example.  Personally, I think each Caroline should be entitled to be addressed as she chooses and not based on what's more common in the country of the speaker.  I hate being called Care - o - lin though I can just cope with being called Car - o -lina by Spanish friends.  Love Caroline Scotland
