My mother-in-law's name is Carol and we would like to honor her with naming our daughter after her. But we want it to be a little bit different than hers. If you don't like Carys, any other suggestions?

I agree with you that Carol is a name that is a little outdated but still a beautiful name.
Maybe if you like Carolynn that sounds a little more modern because of the lynn. Or you can throw a name you like in there and nickname her. I dont know how you like to be with your names, I like original names. Check out this website, maybe it will help.

They have stuff like random renamers, and things like that you can play around with. Maybe you'll find a name you like. Good luck and congratulations!

Carys is cute.
In my opinion I would consider:
Carleigh
Caroline
Carlyn
Carolynn
Cara
How about Carol as a middle name?
Madison Carol
Emily Carol
Summer Carol
Lilliane Carol

What about Carla or Coral? Sorry, I don't like Carys because it sounds like Marice, which is pretty outdated and all I can think of is Frasier... Anyway... you could also use Carol as her middle name or hyphenate it with a name that compliments it. For example... Carol-Anna. Actually, I REALLY like CORAL because it has all the letters in CAROL. It would be a cute and original way to honor your mother-in-law because their names would be perfect anagrams of each others names... like puzzles!!! So cute... Good luck!!!

Oh, I like Carolyn much better, or Caralie, or Coraline, or something. Carys will be difficult to pronounce and might get her teased. Or you could use something else for her first name, and make Carol the middle name.
Some other suggestions, for middle or first to go with it:
Anastasia, Aislinn, Cecilia, Natalya, Emilie, Lillian, Vivian, Alcyone, Aramina, Annice, Skylar, Jessabelle, Calliope, Lessa, Mercedes, Dierdre, Rosalind, Abigail, Eleanor, Lilith, Anya, Fiona, Guinevere, Genevieve, Delia, Delilah, Lilith, Cordelia, Lorelei, Evelyn, Anneliese, Quinn, Rowan, Lyta, Lilyana, Erin, Brianna, Vaneris

What about Caroline? Carly would be cute too. You could always use Carol as a middle name also.
