HelpRe: Carole
in reply to a message by Array
I like Caroline (-LINE) or Carolina (-LEEna) myself, but I have a tendency to flowery, frilly, girly-girl names. Carole doesn't sound particularly dated to me, it just doesn't appeal that much (though the only Carol's I know are all 50+yo). However, I do like Carole Quinn (no I don't think it's too close to Carole King - but would that be a bad thing, honestly? no).
I really like Carole Antonia the best from your list, but when I say it out loud it sounds like Carole-Anne Tonia. Maybe it's my Texas twang. We have to part ways on Carole Stargazer, darlin, just not somethin I would pick. But if it works for you, so much the better.
Incidentally, how do these strike you?
Carole Mallory
Carole Maureen
Carole Kathleen
Carole Nicole
Carole Patrice
Carole Rebecca
Carole Simone
Carole Margaret
Ordinarily I despise the mn Nicole, but here it's different. I have a strong affinity for alliteration and assonance.
I don't think I would use either Caro or Carrie, honestly. She'd be Carole or something non-name-derived. Like Booger. No, I don't know. Caro's okay, I guess, I just can't hear myself sayin it, and isn't that always the bottom line? *LOL*
James Hawkeye is a terrific combo. I have a brother-in-law John nn Jack/Jackie (both equally used). Jackie's okay, but not my favorite. If you're going the James Hawkeye route, I'd personally call him Hawk. Or, yes, just Jim. I love all the Jim's I've ever known. :)

Too close to Carole King is never a bad thing for me, ha. She's one of my favourite singers of all time--ever since my mother bought a copy of the Tapestry album on CD back when I was twelve. I absolutely love her. :) And for some reason, I love Quinn on a girl as a middle name. I suppose I love the TV show Daria a tidge too much, lol.
And these strike me this way:
Carole Mallory~ I like the repeated L's, but I'm not sure about Mallory. I do love Valerie, though. :) Carole Valerie sounds straight out of the 60s--how fun!
Carole Maureen~ I love Maureen, too! Carole Maureen is one I'll have to consider.
Carole Kathleen~ I have a dear friend named Kathleen, so I do like the name a great deal. This one appeals to me.
Carole Nicole~ I simply cannot warm up to Nicole. I grew up in the 90s--I know so many, and most of them were the mean girls. It's too tainted for me.
Carole Patrice~ One I'll have to think about.
Carole Rebecca~ My youngest sister is a Ruby Rebecca, so Carole Rebecca appeals immensely. :)
Carole Simone~ I like it on first glance--another I'll have to think about.
Carole Margaret~ I've been thinking about Carole Margaretta and Carole Margarethe, since both have been used in my family. And in the corner of my mind, there's a rallying cry for Carole Margalo, but that's hard to say, lol.

Carole Margalo intrigues
and I'm pleased you liked some of my ideas! (Don't blame you about the Nicole thing, I knew I was reaching...)
