I like it but do you think it sounds too 'grown up' for a baby and toddler?

Not at all, gorgeous name. She won’t be a baby or toddler for long anyway, better to pick a name that will suit her all her life

LaGattaNera · 17/12/2017 17:53

Lovely lovely name OP! Not too grown up for baby or toddler at all.

Starface · 17/12/2017 18:00

Very nice and uncommon.

Lovely name one of my best friends is a Carmen. Always gets lovely comments about her name.

shartsi · 17/12/2017 18:12

Very beautiful name

SparklingSnowfall · 17/12/2017 18:15

It’s a beautiful name and as an opera lover it conjures up all sorts of images and sounds.

Love it! Could always use Cami as a nn as a baby if u think Carmen too grown up? I like Carmel too.

donajimena · 17/12/2017 18:32

Love it!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 17/12/2017 18:53

It's a beautiful name, and Cami is a lovely nick name, as suggested above.

formerbabe · 17/12/2017 18:54

Carmen was on my list when I was expecting my DD! Love it.

happylantern · 17/12/2017 18:57

Oooo I love it!

BelfortGabbz · 17/12/2017 20:20

Love it, has always been my favourite, unfortunately couldn't use it with our surname.
DD has a name I worried about for the same reason but we went with it anyway, she'll be an adult a long time!

sinceyouask · 17/12/2017 22:41

Love it, and Carmel too.

kaytee87 · 17/12/2017 22:48

Reminds me of Carmen Electra but her generation won't know who that is.

LeahG94 · 17/12/2017 23:18

I’ve always prefered Carmel

RavenWings · 17/12/2017 23:19

Love it. Not as much of a fan of Carmel, I know a few in their 50s now and for that reason I just can't see it on a child in the same way as Carmen.

17caterpillars1mouse · 18/12/2017 09:11

Lovely name. Go for it

BoldBean2 · 18/12/2017 09:13

Beautiful!! Smart. Feminine and strong. Go for it
Thanks

shartsi · 18/12/2017 11:31

My Carmen's know is Carmenie

shartsi · 18/12/2017 11:31

Nickname

Potteryprincess30 · 18/12/2017 13:39

I adore Carmen, 'grown up' names as you put it actually are even more adorable on babies I think then cutesy names. It'll carry her through to adulthood beautifuly and lovely nick names with Carmen for friends to use when she's a teenager.

I know a Carmen and she is gorgeous. Go for it Smile
