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. :)
Array (starting to like
Caroline a bit--helped along by
Lea Thompson)
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.
