[Opinions] Re: Karlene and Carlene
I like names with the "een / ene / ine" suffix i.e. (ei?) Eileen, and do not have a country association to it, however I've never heard any country (as in Country & Western?) song about it. I am quite indifferent to spelling--so I thoroughly believe that these factors should be determined by the name giver or named individual - and it is always best when the parents help the child like the name - and amend it to the style of the child's preference.

I actually really like Eileen, and could see it coming back into style, at some point.

I love Eileen - and while young I had a crush on one-throughout my entire eighth grade year.
"She never told her love,
But let concealment, like a worm i' the bud,
Feed on her damask cheek: she pin'd in thought,
And with a green and yellow melancholy,
She sat like Patience on a monument,
Smiling at grief. Was not this love indeed?" Twelfth Night
