Re: Carmen used for a male?
According this site, the actual name of the singer was Carmen and he changed it to Carman because in Spanish it is mainly used for women:http://www.amiright.com/names/pseudo/c.shtml

Thanks for catching that -- that information wasn't on the fan site where I found the original name. I do think that his parents probably picked Carmen as an "Americanization" of Carmine, though.
