I have a cousin of some sort (my mom's cousin, is that a second cousin? I never know) named Carmen. I always felt it didn't suit her, because Carmen has such dark, temptress energy to it, and cousin Carmen is not saucy at all. She's one of those slightly alarming born-again trad-wife types whose eyes are a bit too bright and teeth are a bit too big, you know? Anyway.

I think compact names like Carmen are going to come back into style.

Carmen Iolanthe has a beautiful cadence to it. Carmen Felicity is shiny, love that one! I'm also crushing on Opal a lot today so Carmen Opal is speaking to me, although it feels slightly phrase-y somehow.
