Carmen - is it cool or crap?

[Karathraceandherspecialdestiny]

Know it reminds people of Carmen Electra but she won't be around in 5 years time (hopefully).

Would it work with an english last name or should it be reserved for latin names?

I like it, lots, I had a friend called Carmen when I was a teenager, she was an english girl and it suited her fine.

yes, actually I like it

I really like it!

I really like it, I also liked Carmel, but DP hated both so didn't use either.

Oh and I didn't think of Carmen Electra when I read your title.

wouldnever have considered it, but now you mention it, really like it

I like this name, it's quite unusual and a bit tropical, I like it!

I like it

Lol at Carmenere!

I worked for an Irish lady called Carmen and she had a DD with the same name. I like it.

Dislike it.

i thought of carmen electra, carmen and dave

OMG, Carmenere is your name meant to be like 'Carmen 'ere?'
I always read it as one word, I thought it was a liqueur or something

i like it a lot, but then I am spanish, and the last thing that springs to mind for me is carmen electra tbh. I have got a hundred other references for that beautiful name.

Reminds me of the Carmen electric heated hair-rollers I had many moons ago.

Cool

I love Carmen, but am also (half) Spanish so its a 'normal' name to me. If I ever have a little girl, she will be Carmen after my much loved (and missed) aunt.

def v cool

I love Carmen! I also grew up with an english girl called Carmen and it really suited her too. I think it's a bit different without beig weird. I don't immediately think of Carmen Electra either!

I know a little girl called Carmen, she's lovely (though there is a reason, her dad is spanish)

I like it. But I do live in Spain so see it as a perfectly normal name choice. But it works with an English last name as well.

love it! It was one of my top fave names.

Also loved Camille as well.

I like it

Lovely name

I've known 3 Carmens and bizarrely, they were all cleaners and Spainish/Spainish descent.

and?
