Our story of Carrieann
Latin borrowed very little from Gaulish, and what it did borrow tells you what the Gauls were better at. Carrus was a wagon, and it is a Celtic word: Caesar's armies met Gaulish vehicles and took the word along with the design. From carrus English has car, carry, carriage, cargo, career — which originally meant a racecourse or a gallop — and charge, which is a load. The same borrowing pattern gave Latin words for a chariot, a barrel and certain kinds of cart, and almost nothing else. Gaulish died out without leaving a grammar, so the handful of words Latin took from it are a substantial part of what survives of the language, and most of them are about moving things on wheels.

Fashion outlook
Carrieann sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.

The trade-off
- Both halves are familiar, so nothing has to be spelled out by sound.
- It collapses to either half and both are complete names.
- Written solid it occupies one field on a form instead of two.
- Carrie Ann and Carrie-Ann are both recorded, and systems will split it.
- Neither half is a formal name, so there is no long version to fall back on.
- It reads as belonging firmly to one American generation.
Nobody names a baby alone.
