Pronounced like Mariah.

It's actually an Irish surname, but there is Carey Lowell (Richard Gere's wife) and an up and coming Brit (I think) actress called Carey Mulligan.

I think it's quite nice, although might be confused with Kerry or Carrie.

What MrsMattie said. I don't normally like this sort of american-style name at all but ... it's actually quite nice. Like it.

Though ... Mariah; and that last archbishop of canterbury who used to drone on a lot

The only Carey I know is a guy.
Do know plenty of Carrie's though.

Makes me think of SJP and Sex in the City

Sounds a little 70s and American to me, but a nice name nevertheless.

Love it! Would probably spell it Cari or carrie but I'm just being difficult!

Mariah connotations and very American, but I don't hate it. It could grow on me

Lovely name.Pronounced like Mariah's surname

Reminds me of Mariah. Which is a good thing in my book, but maybe wouldn't be for the majority of people!

I know a little girl called Cerys which is shortened to Carey. Dad is welsh though..
