Carol was originally a boy`s name. I would say do the K spelling you mentioned later. I was thinking, and in my area Carol is an older ladies` name. That can be bad, but that also means that they won`t be in school with him. He might be the only Karol/Carol the other kids know. That would prevent a bias of the name. I do.prefer Joel, though.

I think good names are easy to picture a kid with the name, as well as a grown man. What kind of image does the name Carol have you seeing in your head?? If you are happy with the image, then go for it. It is seems out of place, maybe rethink the name.

I like Joel for a boy, but not Carol so much, I`ve never known Carol to be a boys name, in fact, it`s my aunt`s name! lol But if you like it then go for it, it seems there are others who have known guys to be named Carol so it`s not odd. I don`t know anything about the Pope either so I`m out of the loop lol

I thought I remembered hearing Carol for a male in England. I could be wrong. It could swear a friend at work mentioned it.

The Pope John Paul the 2 was named Karol wojtyla . No one knows that here? If you write that name you can see pictures of him.

I`ve never known a boy to be named Carol before, interesting Monkeymomma!

I`m confused. To me, Joel is a boy`s name and Carol is a girl`s name. Unless Joel is pronounced Jo-ell (like Noel)?

  1. If you DID NOT have a name picked out before getting pregnant, when did you finally decide on the name?
  2. Is it normal for toddlers to leave off 1/2 of words?
  3. Silly poll, just checking the odds.. for parents of 3+kids, did you have:
  4. Career conundrum... Opinions valued (particularly from teachers - but I would value advice from anyone). Details inside.
  5. At what age do you think it`s appropriate to drop your child off at a sporting training (not a school sport, a sports club such as soccer, footy, tennis, netball club etc), and come at the end to pick them up?
  6. If you saw a car up your next-door neighbour`s drive (evening), would you make a social visit (and didn`t know them very well)?


  7. So this is what the Tooth Fairy would be like if the roles were reversed haha!
  8. Bookworms - is anyone reading the new Khaled Hosseini book `And the Mountains Echoed`? I pre-ordered it on kindle which should have arrived today (I haven`t checked yet) but was wondering if anyone would be interested in a group read?
  9. HELP - my 3 year old daughter is developing a phobia to fluff! I feel responsible, I have a ridiculous phobia of bees and wasps - to the point it hinders my ability to enjoy playing out in the garden during the summer, it`s detrimental. My kids have picked up on this and are sh*t scared of bees and wasps, but with my daughter it was soon spiders, then ants and now, tiny black bits of fluff - which she finds all over; on her pillow etc. It`s genuine terror in her face as she screams she can see them moving and they`re `going to get her` or `bite her`. What do I do? She`s old enough to be reasoned with that they don`t move and we pick most of them off before bedtime, but she wakes in the night and starts crying that `The Fluff`s coming...!!` How can I help her? Do you think this is just a phase or do you think it`s worth seeking some sort of external, professional help to nip this in the bud? I HATE the thought of passing on my phobias and anxieties to my children - it`s no way to live to be a constant worrier about things beyond your control and I;ve suffered with anxiety and panick attacks for nearing 6 years now and can`t ever remember just feeling `normal` and `well` - I can`t remember my life before my first panick attack. This is NOT what I want for my children...
  10. On Facebook I saw one of those like pictures, a mom who sent her child to school for days wearing out of style `ugly` clothes because she was bullying another girl about her clothes. Mom`s yourselves, what do you think of this type of punishment?
