I like it, but I don't think I would use it personally. Maybe as a middle if I had a personal connection to it or if it was a family name as in your case. I get hipster vibes from it.

There is a Carlisle St. near Temple University, although some students would actually pronounce it "car-LIZE-ul," which is cringe.

Combos. Um...I'm not very good with boys' combos, but I'll give it a shot...

It's so much better than Lyle - I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because I do kind of like Karl.

I think of argyle and aqua green and rocky coastline. Also, like...brandy and cigars, that type atmosphere.
I feel like it's dorky similar to how Garfield is but less cartoonish.
Or it's stuffy and popculturey like Atticus but less annoying imo.

The meaning's nice.

It’s a lovely name! And I enjoy this spelling infinitely more than Carlyle (which I don’t enjoy at all).

I have to admit that other than the English city (and Robert Carlyle), my first thought is “Carlisle Cullen”. But most of the names used in the Twilight books are favourites of mine, anyway, so I’ve accepted tears ago that many of my favourite names have Twilight associations.

I like Carlisle. I tend to like boy names ending with an L, and I don't mind surnames as first name quite as much when the surname isn't also an occupation. Carlisle sounds like the more down to earth alternative to Castiel, but a more distinguished alternative to Carl or Lyle. Unfortunately, Twilight is one of the few stories that I know of with this name. While Carlisle wasn't a bad character, I wouldn't name a child after him. If only it had a couple of more associations.

An old traditionally used English name would probably pair nicely with it.

Magnus Carlisle

Carlisle Frederick

Carlisle Ivo
Carlisle Phineus - This sounds like it should be an 1890s archeologist.

It has a nice sound, but I’m not sure if I like it as a name. I also think of the city, which is supposed to be really nice.

This was almost my name! My mom had Carlisle and Christopher on her shortlist. So I've always kinda felt like Carlisle is my "alter ego". Not Christopher, definitely Carlisle.

---

Did Twilight ruin this name? I feel like the Twilight influence in general is starting to slip, but it was one of the only places you saw this name.

---

Maybe I would have been Carlisle Nicholas? That's actually pretty dang nice.

---

I love the "lisle" part, it's so glittering.

---

Mary Carlisle is really pretty. I do like Carlisle for all genders, it seems very flexible, I think because of the glitter involved.

It's nice, and a bit feminine and German although it's a masculine and English name.
