Carron

Similar in sound to caraway (a bitter, earthy herb), Carraway (Nick, narrator of The Great Gatsby) and Calloway (a quietly rising choice for boys), Carroway is a surname-style choice that could work as a unisex given name. It might appeal to those looking for a creative way of honoring a Wayne and/or a Caroline.
 
Originally found among an Anglo-Saxon tribe who lived near a road or path by a triangular piece of land, it combines the Old English elements gara and weg to describe such a location. 
 
While it has never appeared in the US stats, Carroway was used by reality TV star, Sadie Robertson Huff, for her daughter's middle name in 2025. It is a family name for the star, but her use of it may well help bring the name to people's attention.
