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.

I love Jim as well--usually, I'm alone in that. Jim and Jimmy are such sharp names, though! I think they're both really attractive and underused currently (even if they were overused at one point). But then, I really, really hate the trend against nicknames. When I taught Sunday school, I gave all the kids nicknames anyway; James was James James (said in rapid succession, like the A. A. Milne poem) and Samuel Samwise, for example. :)

She had fallen against the windows, which were pressed against the windows, which were pressed against the old oak near across the age of the old Aunt Sophronia--was almost dreadful enough to walk on.

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
