HelpRe: Carol?
in reply to a message by Kit
I'm sorry to be blunt, but I think it's hideous. However, I know that's because, to me, it is about as dated and unfashionable as it can be, and I associate it with the pleasant but offensively dressed, puff-banged school secretaries of my youth.
My own name is Caroline, and I like it. So it must really be the associations that turn me off to it rather than the sound.
(I can be rather, uh, clumsy and lumbering. In my twenties, I had a job at a coffee shop where I would regularly knock stuff over, drop things, spill milk, etc, and one of my co-workers came to affectionately bellow, "uh oh, Carol's coming, watch out!" when I'd have a clumsy day. There's just something about the name Carol that seems graceless.)
