How many people are named Carol?

Answer 1

Carol (which originally was a masculine name) has been decently used since the late-1800s in the United States, but it shot to huge popularity in the 1940s and 1950s (when it remained on the top-5 and top-10 for numerous years.)

Since then, the usage rate has slowly diminished-- to where the last recorded percentage was in 2006 (with a popularity rank of #972, and a percentage-used of 0.013.)

There are hardly any bearers in the young generation-- only older men and women.

Personally, I think that it would be nice to bring back (but likely as a nickname for Caroline, or such related.)
