What do you think of this girls name? It means small champion, which I think is lovely Smile x

Lovely! I'm admittedly biased because I have a lovely friend by that name (but then I have friends with horrible names, too).

I think its dated sorry.

Like I said on other thread- lovely.
Carly Louisa would be nice.

I like it :) I personally wouldn't use it, but it's a nice name and Carly Louisa is great :)

I like it as a nickname for Caroline (which I love in itself), but not really a fan on its own. But as no one would know day to day whether it was a full name or not that needn't affect you!

Wow!! Great response!! From looking online apparently it's the 650th most popular girls name in the UK. So I thought I'd get a lot more negative comments! Seems it's well liked, just not that common (which is a bonus! Thank you ladies. Just need a middle name now Smile any suggestions?x

I know two - both lovely girls

whoseafraidofnaomiwolf · 16/11/2015 11:04

It's a lovely name - I hope you use it :)

Archer26 · 16/11/2015 10:29

That's my name. Smile But mine is spelt unusually awkwardly, thanks parents. I love Carly spelt the traditional way. I think it's a lovely warm name.

Go for it. Not many of us these days.

romanrainsalot · 16/11/2015 10:23

Like it a lot. Not heard it in a long time but its sweet. I also knew a Carly in school, she was nice

Difficultchoice · 16/11/2015 10:13

Not for me but I can see why people might choose it!

Redglitter · 16/11/2015 10:12

I love it. I know one Carly and she's just amazing. I suppose that makes me biased towards the name a bit Smile
