HelpRe: WDYTO Carrow?
in reply to a message by aussiechic04
Ooh I’d love to hear people’s opinions on this one because I love the sound and would super want to use it... but I’m really hung up on the meaning because it literally is a word for a “a strolling gamester in Ireland” and in the OED it basically has connotations of someone who’s untrustworthy, etc. Usually I don’t care about meanings, but this one’s straight up in the dictionary :/ but on the other hand, most people wouldn’t know the word unless they looked it up.
Sound-wise, I totally prefer Carrow over Arrow. I think it’s more of a masculine name, but it could totally word as gender neutral.

I guess no one else is interested in giving their opinions on this one *shrugs*. I was interested in seeing what others thought too, which is why I asked.
I've seen a few definitions/meanings floating around, including use as a Cornish surname. Not sure how trustworthy they are though.
I have no problem with the meaning "gambler/gamester", it makes it more interesting to me. I love a trickster type character.
I'm leaning more towards masculine as well. I think it has a bit of a trendy vibe, who knows it may catch on! I'm thinking now that for a female I'd probably use Caro (as a nn for Caroline).
Thanks for your reply!
