I remember using Carlene for a main character's name when I was younger. I liked how it was pronounced and the meaning. Now it kind of reminds me of cars, but I still like the name. It's interesting :]
Carlene West is a Pitjantjatjara (First Nations Australian) artist. Her paintings are included in the collection of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the National Gallery of Victoria, the National Gallery of Australia, and the British Museum. Her work has been exhibited across Australia as well as internationally.
Carlene Aguilar (Chinese: 洪巧玲) is a Filipino-Chinese actress and former beauty queen, having been crowned Miss Philippines Earth 2001 and Binibining Pilipinas World 2005.
My sister’s name is Carleen, not spelled like the original. Maybe I am biased, but it’s a very feminine sounding name. It’s rare. It isn’t a run of the mill name, like Britney (including all the different ways to spell it) or Ashley, or Jennifer.
In 2018, 55 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Carlene who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 1779th most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.
Carlene is a lovable, mature and gorgeous name for a girl. It makes a GREAT middle name! (:

Not the prettiest name ever, but it's a heck of a lot better than the overused, childish, immature "Carly" and all its trashy variants.

Sorry, but this is one of those old-fashioned country girl names that make me picture a middle-aged housewife with a thick Southern drawl who isn't very bright.
I have a really good friend named Carleena (a variant of the name) and I absolutely love it!

"Carlene" is name of a song by the country singer Phil Vassar. It's a favorite song of my mother's, but probably has to do with the fact MY name is Karleen (an alternate spelling). I love my name. I'm not sure why, though. I've only met one other person with it.
I have only met one Carlene and she was about 67 years old. It's not a bad name, I kind of like it.
