The meaning of Carrie
Carrie began as a diminutive of Caroline. Wikipedia describes it as a given name in English-speaking countries that is usually a pet form of Caroline or Carolyn, and lists Carol, Caroline and Carolyn as related names. Behind the Name notes a turning point in its history: Carrie declined in use shortly after the 1976 release of the horror movie Carrie, based on Stephen King’s 1974 novel. One of its most famous bearers, suffrage leader Carrie Chapman Catt, was born Carrie Clinton Lane.
Nicknames for Carrie
Carrie has plenty of spellings. Wikipedia lists Cari, Kari, Karie, Kerry, Carri, Karri, Kerrie, Kerri, Keri and Karrie, and Behind the Name adds Carry, Callie and Cali. Because it is already a pet form, Carrie is often the name a Caroline or Carolyn actually goes by.

Her name on the front makes it easy to spot on a crowded desk.
Why a name on the cover matters
