What do you think of Carladee as a girl's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

I had a cabbage Patch Doll as a child called Carla Marie.
Thats what it reminds me of.

Just worked it out myself, Christ I need sleep Grin

Being really thick here, but why would you know there's a carladee on facebook, if you don't know a carladee?

Thumbwitch · 24/09/2011 16:17

There, you see? you need to tighten up your privacy!

AKissIsNotAContract · 24/09/2011 16:11

Are you the Carladee on facebook? If so, your profile is totally open, you need some privacy settings.

Thumbwitch · 24/09/2011 16:08

Sorry, meant Lucy Juicy

sounds like the Dad was called Carl and mother Dee. please no

SoupDragon · 24/09/2011 16:04

Nothing wrong with Carla.
Nothing wrong with Dee.
Nothing wrong with Carla Dee.
Carladee though? Your mother must have been on the same drugs as mine when she gave me a rhyming name. You could probably get away with it as a middle name given it is yours and has meaning.

Thank you Smile it was on a party album I had when I was about 8, many many years ago (the olden days, yesteryear, days of yore etc Grin)

Black Lace "covered" it, hiccy, if you can call it that! but it's a Beatles' original. :)

hiccymapops · 24/09/2011 15:54

It reminded me of that song too (but I thought it was black laceBlush)

Thumbwitch · 24/09/2011 15:53

Do you not have a middle name yourself? I like the tradition of using a family name for your DC, and if I ever have a girlbaby will give her my middle name for her middle name as well (it goes back generations).

But I'm not sure I could stomach inflicting Carladee on my child even if it is a family name - how has it affected you in your life?

Thumbwitch · 24/09/2011 15:51

Got it! I knew it was reminding me of something else - it's the Beatles song, Ob-la-dee, ob-la-dah. Sorry.

Your mum must have been on some good dope... Grin

Do you just call yourself Carla?

And since there really can't be many Carladees in the country, I would like to respectfully suggest you change your MN name, as it is going to out you completely in RL. :)

BehindLockNumberNine · 24/09/2011 15:49

Aw, sorry, it is YOUR name.

Ahem. Ok.

Carla is nice...

IndieNile · 24/09/2011 15:48

And I suppose her sister would be Bagladee?

BehindLockNumberNine · 24/09/2011 15:48

Carladee Carlada Carlawohoho was the first thing that came to mind.

The second thing that came to mind was 'hell no"

I know it's so wrong but thats my name!

Thumbwitch · 24/09/2011 15:38

Is it actually your real name?
I think first, car lady, next, deep South redneck country singer.
I don't think I'd ever consider using it for a child. Carla-Dee would be better - at least you have the option to drop the Dee bit. Carla is a perfectly nice name by itself. :)

Awful. Sorry.

EdithWeston · 24/09/2011 15:30

I've never come across this name in RL, and I don't take to it. I read it as "car lady" as well (and IMHO, Carmen would be better).

It might be better as Carla-Dee, if s the pronunciation you want.
