What do you think of this name? It's one of the newest added to my list. I've always liked it to an extent but I like it enough to add it now.

It's not my normal style but something about it really appeals to me.

What do you think of Carmen for a girl?

Thanks,

Jamie

I love it, but I don't think I could ever use it due to a recent bad association with it.

I like it. I know a high school age girl (not of Latin descent at all, surprisingly) named Carmelita nn Carmen.

I also know a middle school age girl named Carmen with a younger sister named Claire. Very cute, imo.

Not really a fan of the name Carmen for a girl. I like Carman (spelled this way) for a guy though.

I love it! It's beautiful and uncommon, but easily recognizable. I also love the opera and the ballet that it inspired :-)

What about Carmel?

I really like Carmel. I like Carmen too, but I see a Spanish femme fatale with a red rose, dancing flamenco. I guess I am too influenced by the the famous opera.

Not crazy about Carmel. But I do like Carmela.

The only time I ever saw the opera was in the 5th grade when my intermediate school went to see a traveling production of it (it was lower quality to say the least). And really I hardly remember it though I'm still familiar with the basic storyline but I guess it doesn't influence my liking the name.

I really like this name, even though it doesn't really fit into my regular naming style (just like with you).
I also really like the meaning (song), I think it's very beautiful.

I like it on a girl, not on a boy!
