Attitude already and she's only 6!

My first name is Carolyn.
I'm of the opinion that Caroline is a completely seperate name. You can tell how much I like a person if I don't correct them when they call me Caroline.
But as far as CeCe goes, I adore that! Convince your daughter to keep it. A manager at my first job commented one day that it was a shame that my last name didn't start with a C, cause then they could call me CeCe! Until then I always associated the name with the character on the Nanny. But when he said it with his little North Carolina drawl, I was so sad that I wouldn't be called CeCe.
I once read though that Carrie is the official nickname for Carolyn and Caroline.

As far as middle names as first go, that almost happened to me. Carolyn was far from my mom's first choice. She was going to go with Lisa since my first name was supposed to be Elisabeth. But the nurse spelled it with a z and Mom refused to call me Liza.
My dad didn't fare as well though. His first name is
technically John. But that only appears as his first name on his birth certificate and marriage license.
Everything else has it listed as his middle name with his actual middle name listed first.
