Carmody- as a girls name?

[OnitsukaSaye]

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

It’s not made up. I knew a Carmody (female, it was her first name) in my uni days. She was a lovely person and suited her name.

I dont like it at all. It sounds like cammode-y

@SpikeDearheart

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

I thought that too.

But in his case, it was his surname.

It sounds very wild wild West to me 👢

How about naming it something that doesn't scream "I come from a family that think 'unique' names replace personalities."

Irish surname

What about Caramac? I like Caramac.

It sounds like one of those automatically generated names companies use for tiles or carpet.

It sounds like the name of a laxative brand to me, sorry!

How about
Melody
Carly
Ashley
Ottilie
Wendy
Gilly
Ginnie
Ginny
Vinny
Lily
Trinny

Carmen and common sound nothing alike in a non rhotic accent. The o in common is a hard short o not elongated.

Carmody does sound like comedy in American

Carmody and her twin Tragdeigh.
Absolute opposites!

What's next on your list OP?

It's not a great name on so many levels.

If it were me I would find another. There are plenty out there.

My children love being called after their ancestors. They have more modern Middle names.

Just no. Think of the responses a child with that name will get throughout their life.

Carmen sounds a good alternative.
