This is a great name and not at all masculine (thank the opera). However if you want a more traditionally feminine sounding name, pick a middle name that end in "ie" or "y" or maybe "a."

I like Carmen, its very feminine.

Can't say I really like any of the combos though.

I love Carmen. I know a little girl who is half Spanish (yes, actually Spanish) named Carmen Elena. From your list I like Carmen Iris and Carmen Diana the best.

Carmen is ultra-feminine to me because of the Bizet opera character and Brazilian songstress, Carmen Miranda (she of the banana head-dress.) I don't see / hear "car men" at all. Carmen is one of those underappreciated classics that deserves more attention. It has a strong, regal quality to it.

Sorry for any repeats. You like?

If you can't shake your doubts, there's always Carmel / Carmela.

The masculine version is Carman... When one sees it with an e, it's automatically fem. I think it's nice and not overused.

Preferences from your list:
1.Carmen Amity
2.Carmen Adelaide
3.Carmen Cynthia
4.Carmen Violet
5.Carmen Alice
6.Carmen Sylvie or Sylvia

I love this name, though I would not necessarily use it. I don't find it at all masculine, I hear the sounds but find them to be rather lyrical and pretty. I also think this is one of many very strong feminine names.

Carmen Adelaide is gorgeous, and I also like Carmen Violet and Carmen Cynthia.
