    How to Honor...

    How can I honor my grandma, Carole? I thought about Coral(changing around the letters in Carol) and Caroline nn Caro. Any other ideas? Carole is a little too old for my taste...

    Caroline is my favorite-of course it is sort of popular if that bothers you. Coral is also pretty! Cara could also be an option.. also Carys. I went to college with a girl named Carol Anne, & it seemed to fit her and didnt seem too dated!

    Coralie perhaps?
    I really like Coral as a nature name, it seems less dated then ^^
    There's also Carolina.

    Carina? That's getting off course a bit, I guess.

    Carolina is really pretty.

    I also like Cora, Coralie, Corina.

    You could also split up the letters over two names like ARCadia ELOise.
    Aurelia - Coralie - Elva - Illyria - Lorelei - Loretta - Merida - Ofelia/Ophelia - Tabitha - Viola - Wisteria
    Alaric - Anton - Emmett - Erich - Felix - Hugo - Ludwig - Oscar/Osgar - Tristan - Victor - Vincent

    Caroline would be my choice. Cara and Coral would be the next best options.

    Ireland gave you a pretty long list, but there's also Charlotte. They are all feminizations of the name Charles.

    My mn is Carole, and my father always said it meant "song of joy". That's not what any name site will tell you, but I guess he was thinking of Christmas carols. If you think of the name in that vein, you could go with Joy, Melody, Harmony, Rayna (means song of The Lord), Odele (meaning song), or any other name meaning song.
