I don't find Carole to be dated at all, but I've never met/heard/seen a Carole before so I don't have any young/old associations with it. Out of your list I prefer Carole Teresa (although I think my favorite is Lillian's suggestion of Carole Maureen), but I really dislike the nn Caro. For one thing I can't say it. I just automatically put the "le" at the end when I try to pronounce it, and it's not much of a nickname if its only missing the "le" sound. Plus, I'm not partial to nns. I think you should name a child what you plan on calling them, espcially for releatively short names like Carole.
