Names like Careen/Carina?

[Merlin27]

Okay so we are between Zyra or possibly Careen - happy to pick once she gets here. I’m just not 100% confident in Careen - I have always LOVED Carina but someone else in the family already has it (spelt with a K) Can anyone think of anything else similar? Husband has ruled out Serena 🙄
Or generally any not too common sharp sounding names?

Doh- that was meant to be Keren!

Seren
Carmine
Carmen
Carys

Zara
Xenia
Zoe
Zadie/Sadie

Cora
Cara
Catalina
Catarina
Katya
Kezia

"Careen" makes me think of the verb "careen." I prefer Corinne, Corinna, Coraleen etc.

I know a Calina which is very pretty.

Don’t like Careen personally - don’t think it’s a good substitute for Carina.

Carlene, Carlena, Caralee, Carenza, Kalyn, Coralie, Coraline, Cora, Ciara, Calista.

Zyra

Catriona (Irish and pronounced Katrina)

I was going to suggest Carenza too.

"To careen" means "to tip a ship onto its side" or "to move swiftly in an uncontrolled way".

I love Keren and Carenza.

Thanks everyone for your inputs :) Think we might have sorted it ☺️ Going to make the final decision once she’s here and will update! Just 5 weeks to go ;)

Carine looks nicer than Careen. Good luck.

I like Carina a lot. Cara and Cora are similar. Also Marina or Sabrina. How about Zara or Xenia?
