I am not even sure it was unique in the 50s.

I stumbled across a Pamelyn, Karolyn and several odd spellings of Carol including Carryl and Caryl.

Well consider me corrected lmao I wasn't aware the practice was around then... though I assume more to do with honouring than kre8tiv? I mean many Victorians (and beyond) didn't know how to spell and I'm just going to assume Caryl was named after grandma whose name drifted between spellings as they often did back then

(but I could be totally wrong)
