Re: Carlene
My grandmother was named Patricia because her father was Patrick. I kind of like it. **Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam/Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine, and a side order of ham**

Patricia is an actual name already, though. It has a rich history. Using it to honor Patrick is perfectly fine. In fact I like it. But Carlene is just taking Carl and adding -ene on to it. Making up a name is what I find borderline cheesey. Love the Carter Family, though.

Oh, I see what you mean. I don't necessarily agree with it, but I see what you mean.
