Carmody- as a girls name?

[OnitsukaSaye]

not sure what I think and can't think of a good nn.

I think it sounds too much like 'comedy'.

I'm not keen. Makes me think of comedy as PP said.

Noooo. Use Carmen.

Yep, comedy.

Agree with pp too close to 'comedy' sounding

Carmel
Harmony
Carmen
Not Carmody.

I think it was a place name on PEI in Anne of Green Gables.

Yes comedy with an American accent was the first thing that came to mind. What do you think of Carmen, Camille, Camilla, Cameron?

I think it was a place name on PEI in Anne of Green Gables.

My first thought

I was going to say Anne of Green Gables too.

Yes, it's a village near Avonlea in Anne of Greengables.

Sounds like the baddie in a film, known only by his surname.

Or a car body workshop.

Or a bit like a commode. Commode-ey.

I'm not keen. Never heard it before. What's its history/meaning?

It's just another Irish surname that really doesn't translate as a first name for either a boy or a girl.

And yes, it'll get mistaken for comedy.

I only know it as a surname.

I think it would be misheard as Harmony - but Carmen is lovely, if you like that?

Sounds like an ingredient you'd put in a curry

I have the baby names topic hidden and when one like this escapes to the wrong board it reminds me why I have it hidden

Reminds me of the place in Anne of Green Gables

What about:

Elodie
Melody
Coralie

Instead?

Sounds made up sorry

Depends on your accent. In my accent Carmody and Comedy are very different

A bit like Cardy.

Carmody was the student vet who got bitten on the arse by a dog in one of James Herriot's books

It’s sounds like a brand of soap from the 70s
