How do you pronouce the name Carrie? Some people where I live pronounce it Carry, like to carry a bag of something with a hard R. Then others pronounce it like Kerry. I pronounce it Care-E.
Which is correct?

Care- E is right.

I knew a girl at school named Carrie and it was pronounced Carry (her middle name was Ann if you're interested ;))
I think Carrie Fisher (from star wars) was pronounced Carry also
I agree with babydoll that you decide on the pronounciation.
I would think Care-E would be Carey or maybe Kerry/Kerrie. Its a gorgeous name no matter which way you say it :)

Care-E sounds too forced. I would pronounce it Kerry. Its a nice name and people will pronounce it the way they pronounce it.

the names carrie, kerry, carry, carey are all pronounced the same. i know a carrie pronounced care-e, and my future last name is carey pronounced care-e, and i used to go to school with a boy named kerry pronounced care-e.think mariah carey, drew carey, jim carrey all pronounced care-e.

I don't think there is a right or wrong answer. People may pronounce it differently depending on what part of the country they're from.

I believe from the websites I have visited CarriE is more correct,but mainly it is a complete matter of choice really. Thats my nickname,also.

I think Carrie is supposed to sound like Mary rather than Marie. It is a cute girly name, either by itself or short for Caroline.

Either one is correct, like my name is Sarah but people often call me Searh or Sawah, or Sarrah.
Personally I say Kerry

Both are correct. Depends on how YOU pronounce it.
