HelpMiddle name for Carol
Can't decide on a middle name for my daughter. I like older names, but not too stiff--if that makes sense. Edith, Esther, and Florence just won't make the cut I'm afraid. To give an idea, I like Carol Ivy and Carol Hadley but I'm not too crazy about either. And Carol is a namesake, so Carolyn/Caroline is out of the question. TIA. :)

Nearly every Carol I've met, regardless of age, has had the middle name Jane; so I don't know if that turns you off of that choice. Of the combos you posted, I like Carol Ivy.
As for middle names that have longevity and aren't too stiff? How about...
Carol Adelaide
Carol Andrea
Carol Annabel
Carol Beatrix
Carol Christina ("Cece"?)
Carol Evelyn
Carol Fay / Carol Fae / Carol Faye
Carol Gabrielle
Carol Heather
Carol Helen

Carol Silvana / Carol Sylvana
Carol Teresa / Carol Theresa
Carol Thecla
Carol Theda
Carol Vada / Carol Veda
Carol Veronica
Carol Violet
Carol Vivian
Carol Winona
Carol Yvette
Carol Yvonne

I think Carol is very pretty, much happier than the grim Caroline, less plain than Carolyn.

I've never heard someone call Caroline "grim" but that's pretty funny. I don't disagree.
Carol Monique is lovely; Carol Monica is also an idea.

Carol is lovely! Shame, Carol Florence is like a flowery Christmas wreath, I'd love that. :)
Carol Ivy is nice and unexpected. That's certainly a good choice.
Some other ideas to spice Carol up:
Carol Viola
Carol Georgiana / Georgia
Carol Francesca
Carol Iris
Carol Wren
Carol Jessamine
Carol Ramona
Carol Meadow - love this!
Carol Summer
Good luck to you!

I love Carol. There are two Carol-names in my family so I couldn't consider using it, but I think it would make a great name for a baby. It's midcentury, but not stylized, it feels more timeless like Laurel, and it doesn't feel "old lady" to me.
Edith's not stiff. But it is more antique.
Ivy and Hadley but not Edith and Florence ... hm. Most of the names I can think of, don't really fall one way or the other in my opinion. Ivy could seem old, but Hadley? I'm just going to write whatever combos come to mind, and let you sort out if any of the names appeal to you.
