What are some ways to honour [name_f]Carole[/name_f]?
[name_f]Tia[/name_f]!
Carole is a feminine variation of [name_m]Charles[/name_m], so any names that are based from that would work. Also, in parts of Europe, [name_f]Kaja[/name_f] is a diminutive of [name_f]Karolina[/name_f], which also shares the same route. Any variation of these would work.
Caroline
[name_f]Carolyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Carly[/name_f]
[name_f]Kaja[/name_f]
[name_f]Kaia[/name_f]
[name_u]Kai[/name_u]
[name_f]Kailani[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Lina[/name_f]
[name_f]Lena[/name_f]
[name_u]Lynn[/name_u]
[name_f]Carlotta[/name_f]
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
You could also take part of her name to have a different name.
Clare
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_f]Elora[/name_f]
[name_f]Orla[/name_f]
[name_f]Lora[/name_f]
I think that [name_f]Carole[/name_f] is a great name, and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is also timeless, but there are lots of ways to mix it up a bit!
How about:
Carolina
[name_f]Carrie[/name_f]
Carrigan
[name_f]Carla[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Carlotta[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlize[/name_f]
[name_f]Corliss[/name_f]
I agree with @bellalily [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] would be brilliant. Or [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] or even just [name_f]Coral[/name_f].

@shells15 Thank you for all your suggestions! I like the idea of mixing up the letters, especially [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_f]Orla[/name_f]. [name_f]Orla[/name_f] appeals to my Irish heritage too!
@emarias22 [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] grows on me the more I read it! Thank you for your suggestions, [name_f]Corliss[/name_f] is beautiful! I’ve never heard it before.
@bellalily @whatchamacallit Unfortunately [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] just makes me think of the film so that’s not really an option for me. I like the suggestion of [name_f]Coral[/name_f], and [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] is stunning! Thank you.

Another suggestion would be to use a double barreled middle name.
Carole-[name_u]Anne[/name_u]
[name_f]Carole[/name_f]-[name_u]Jean[/name_u]
[name_f]Carole[/name_f]-[name_u]Leigh[/name_u]
[name_f]Carole[/name_f]-[name_u]Lynn[/name_u]
[name_f]Carole[/name_f]-[name_u]Marie[/name_u]
[name_f]Carole[/name_f]-[name_u]Ray[/name_u]
[name_f]Carole[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Carole[/name_f]-[name_u]Wynn[/name_u]
I like [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], and the nickname [name_f]Callie[/name_f] makes it seem more youthful. I also think [name_f]Carolina[/name_f] is lovely.
Also a “carol” is a type of song so perhaps names that have a similar meaning like [name_f]Aria[/name_f], [name_u]Carmen[/name_u] or [name_f]Melody[/name_f] would work, depending on how you feel about honour names that aren’t close to the original name.

@ThunderLee Thank you for your suggestions! I’m not really into the double barrel thing but I love [name_u]Jean[/name_u], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_u]Marie[/name_u] and [name_u]Wynn[/name_u] as middles! They’re so versatile.
@choupette What a creative idea! I love [name_f]Melody[/name_f]. Thank you!

I was going to suggest [name_u]Caro[/name_u] too, but @Johannaa pipped me to the post 
I adore it, it’s one of my top contenders for my entirely imaginary fourth child, and I’d love to see it get some use! It’s a pretty clear honour for [name_f]Carole[/name_f], too.

I also love [name_f]Coral[/name_f] / [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] if it’s a spring/summer baby

Carole makes me think of “caroling/music” so maybe musical names?
[name_f]Allegra[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f]Melody[/name_f]
[name_u]Harmony[/name_u]
[name_u]Lyric[/name_u]

[name_f]Mandolin[/name_f]
[name_f]Sonnet[/name_f]
[name_u]Cadence[/name_u]
[name_f]Aria[/name_f]
I also think [name_f]Carina[/name_f] is a nice sound-a-like
