Daniella Carmen and Alyssa Carmen are both nice.

But I personally prefer Carmen Angelica, to be honest...

LoveInTokyo · 21/12/2017 19:21

I think the Y in some of these names is a bit of a fad which could become quite dated.

What about Robin or Alicia?

Navegante · 21/12/2017 19:27

Angelica Robyn (to be awkward)

PaperBagPrincesa · 21/12/2017 19:31

Robin or Taryn

disappearingninepatch · 21/12/2017 19:33

I love Taryn and Robin, prefer Alicia (Alice-ee-a) to Alyssa but Daniella is Westbrook.

daisypond · 21/12/2017 19:35

I prefer Alyssa. Is that the usual spelling? I don't really like any of the other names.

I love the name Robyn and think it works well with Angelica so that has my vote

Thanks...due to family reasons we can't use Angelica as a first name. Carmen Angelica is nice so thanks for that froshie. Robyn was our current front runner, definitely spelt with the y because to me Robin is a boys name. Hmmm. Robyn or Carmen? Carmen is really growing on me!

Bunty I have a Carmen and really like it if only because she tends to be the only Carmen about. We sometimes call her Cara or Carmeny.

Second choice would be Taryn. I had a lovely school friend named Taren. It's a nice name.

Margaritaanyone89 · 22/12/2017 03:56

I prefer Carmen :)

ElizaDontlittle · 22/12/2017 04:13

Robyn and Carmen are lovely names and go well with your mn. Agree Robyn is the girls spelling and that's not a new thing. Congratulations OP

Timefor2 · 22/12/2017 07:22

Robyn is sweet or Alicia (not keen on the other spelling)

CaptainChristmas · 22/12/2017 07:29

I prefer Robyn to Carmen

ladybirdsaredotty · 22/12/2017 09:03

Robyn, I love it

starkid · 22/12/2017 09:39

I think Robyn Angelica sounds nice :)

amberdixie · 22/12/2017 22:40

Taryn!

Joeybee · 22/12/2017 23:00

Robyn - I like this name, as it is strong and not too popular.
Taryn - Don't like the sound or look of this name, it's a bit meh.
Daniella - very dated, think there were about 5 girls in my class growing up in the 90's with this name! Do like nn Danny though.
Alyssa - Nice name, pretty, princessy. Al/Ally/Lissy all potential nn too.

NotAgainYoda · 23/12/2017 07:47

Robyn is my favourite

Carmen second

I don't really like the others

LilacBearberry · 23/12/2017 13:29

Robyn Angelica is beautiful

FizzyGreenWater · 26/12/2017 18:19

Tamar?

AlmostChristmas · 26/12/2017 19:34

Daniella, very uncommon these days but beautiful!

The Alyssa's I come across have to constantly correct the pronunciation- get a load of Alicia's or Alisha type attempts
