I like
Carol quite a bit. I guess I never paid much attention to it because I liked
Caroline so much more. But
Carol's pert, tidy energy is starting to appeal to me.
I like
Carole a lot - something about the awkwardness of the spelling is endearing to me, like someone who really wants to be fancy but isn't quite sure how yet. There's an innocent sophistication to it that warms my heart. I have a weakness for oddly spelled celebrity names from a bygone age, like
Carole,
Bette,
Jayne, stuff like that.
I would love it
Carol made a comeback! That would be adorable. I hope I live to see a legion of babies named stuff like
Carol,
Helen,
Gene and
Clark.
