WDYT of Carmen? It's growing on me heaps (I used to prefer Carmina by a long shot), I'd really appreciate any comments on it. Does the "car" and "men" put you off? I know thats really silly and this name is obviously feminine, but I was just wondering if people dislike it for that reason, since I know a lot of people dislike Scarlet for the "scar" in it.

And, since June has been on my mind recently, would Carmen and June make good sisters?

Thanks in advance :)

I quite like Carmen, but prefer Karmela or Karmen.

I like June, but Juno is my fave by far.

Until this moment, I thought that Carmen was unisex, much like Cameron, as the only Carmen I've ever known was a boy. I've actually prefered it on a boy all these years.

I do think that Carmen and June go nicely together.

I like Carmen, and I like June. I'd actually never thought of the name before, the way you put it. I think the names don't exactly go together, probably because of the cultural difference. But hey, if you like them, use them!

I like Carmen. I love June. They make wonderful sisters.
(I never really seperated it into "car" and "men" I just always saw "Carmen")

I've always loved Carmen. I might be a bit partial too because I know an adorable little girl named Carmen Elena. The "car" never bothered me. I like June and I think it sounds ok with Carmen.

Carmen is lovely and very strong; I'd much prefer it to Carmina. I think Carmen is a common enough name that the whole car men thing isn't even noticable.

Carmen and June would make me dance! Thumbs up.
