What do you think of Carvela?

[user1471771116]

We want to name our baby girl Carvela. We have chosen this unique name as we thought of carmel,carmilla and carmela but they are common names on my side of the family which are italian. So we wanted something different.

What do you think of this name?? We have been calling her Carvela already, she is born on the 26th September!

One of my valentina friends is Italian, the other is Spanish

I will have to look into the other names we chose before.

Thank you to only some of those who weren't harsh

Some other Italian friends have recently called a dd Floriana which I think is pretty and Flori is a nice short version

There are loads of lovely italian names here:

Even just looking at the one starting with C there are lots of very pretty ones.

@talluahthetiger

Thank you i appreciate your help. I quite like Carmellina

I'll throw that in the name list!

[CatNip2]

I saw the title and thought it was a new kind of prosecco, disappointed now. Slinks back away....

[user1471771116]

I have looked at loads of italian names for baby girls on Internet before but nothing was quite doing it for me. But I'll keep looking

[Chewbecca]

Shoes, sorry.

Gabriella?

[WaitrosePigeon]

What the shoes?

[user1471771116]

Haha Gabriella is actually my name

[PestoSwimissimos]

Brand of shoes

[calzone]

Dh's grandma was Italian and her name was Oriele.....

Do you like that?

[SerendipitousFoxley]

I knew a little Valentina. Parents called her "Vale" (pronounced Valley) for short which is cute, or you could go for Leni.

I didn't think of shoes instantly when I read Carvela, but I know nothing about fashion! Valentina is nicer though.

[ClockMakerSue]

Italian similar sounding (ish) names:
Calandra
Cadanza
Carlotta
Viviana
Viviana

I like Valentina and those I know don't get it shortened to Val or Tina or Len ;-)

[Barefootcontessa84]

Sorry OP but aside from shoes, I also think of carvel capsules...

[user1471771116]

No idea what carvel capsules even are

[Olbersparadox]

OMG ahaha before I opened this I just thought - sounds like a shoe designer.

[Cami12]

I really like Valentina! (But definitely not Carvela)

[TurquoiseDress]

Brand of shoes?

No, don't do it!

[WyfOfBathe]

I've never heard of the shoes, but my first thought was that it sounds like "carve Ella"

I like Valentina though. You could have Carvela or even Carmela/etc as a middle name maybe?

[Normandy144]

Love Valentina. Could Claudia work? Claudia Valentina? You could pronounce it the Italian way as in cloudier?

[Motherfuckers]

Shoes, icecream, snot capsules (karvol)
