Help[Opinions] Re: Carole
in reply to a message by Joiya
Carol does have a dated feel to it, however, Carole definitely seems lighter, more musical, more delicate, more something. Of course, when spoken, the names are equally dated. Still, it's a pretty name. Caroly reminds me of the surname of the Hungarian gymnastics coach. I think his name is spelled differently, though. WDYT of Carolie? OTOH, that's one letter away from Caroline and it might be confused for that.

Actually Karoly (a man's name) is in the Hungarian vein.
That is what inspired us. We actually wanted to use Karoly or Karolie... but felt it too foreign a spelling. Caroly suited my dislike of excessive vowels and my husband's love of names that end in "ie" or "a". We didn't end up using it obviously... though my sister preferred Carolie or Carolee like you.
I agree with the more delicate feel of Carole... and love names that are dated actually. Because they tend to sound fresh.
DD is Clarisse... but people hear Clarice when we say it. So... spelled she looks modern, but out loud her name packs that solid punch of the past.
