The name "Carole"



A self- indulgent post, I'm afraid... Very few famous people are called “Carole” – I wonder why.  These are the only ones I could find:

Carole King – singer/songwriter
Carole Lombard – actress
Carole Middleton – mother of the Duchess of Cambridge -… not sure she really qualifies
Carole Cadwalladr – UK author

If you add the misspelling “Carol” then you could add:

Carol Burnett – comedian
Carol Shields - author

According to US statistics, there are 110,928 Carole’s in the US.  It is the 504th most popular name.
