Carl

It think it's okay in my opinion. It sounds like car. Nice name.

Strong, and masculine! Karl is also good!

Clearly, unlike almost everyone else in the comments section, I actually love this name. I'm sick of people saying that some names are 'masculine' and shouldn't be used for girls. It's 2019 people, not 1902. Get a grip. Not everyone has to give their daughter a 'feminine' name. Plus, none of us can control what other people want to name their children. Grow up.

With so many people of distinction and royalty with the name Carl who wouldn't want to be connected to the name Carl? I am proud of my name and would never change it. Check the history of the name.

I'm an American Carl so my name over here is very uncommon. Growing up with the name was a little awkward because it sounds like a grown man's name. However I love my name now that I'm in my 30s. It feels very distinguished.

What? It’s cute!

I am the real Carl. My full name is Carl Thomas David ______, Born 12th July 1977. In Manchester, England. Cancarian Carls are the best!

I find it very hard to imagine a couple in a hospital room, with a baby in their hands saying: "Let's name name him Carl".

This name sounds like a "stereotypical nerd" kinda name. I don't really like it.

I go by this nickname among most of my peers because when I was about to enter high school, a girl decided to shorten my real given name, which happens to be Carlo. There are days when I feel that I have become more of a Carl rather than a Carlo - this may sound bizarre but responding to one has a different feeling as from the other. Like each is burdened by a different set of expectations: Carl is more fun, sociable and clever, while Carlo feels like a more proper, formal and I don't know, kind of distinguished person.

I prefer the spelling Karl.

This is easily my top favorite boy name! It has been for the past few years, and it probably always will be. If I have a son this will be his name. I'm not a big fan of the spelling as Karl though, but I've always been a fan of C over K when it comes to the spelling of names.

I think this name is so cute! I imagine a happy & friendly person with the name Carl. =)

This name would be great to hear on a little boy. It's cute, but serious at the same time. A true classic. In my opinion, names like Carl are far more interesting than Jayden and Hunter. The spelling Karl gives it a little more spunk and pizazz, while Carl is more timeless, similar to Katherine and Catherine :)

I used to think Carl was kind of a nerdy name because of Jimmy Neutron and other shows. I think a lot of people did. However, when I started watching the TV show Shameless and the boy on it was named Carl, I really started to love the name.

This is my best friend's nickname. How we got 'Carl' from 'Carissa' I will never know, but I think it's kinda cool.

I like it better with the German spelling "Karl".

Ugly name. On Jimmy Neutron there is a Carl and he's dumb. Now I think every Carl is dumb. Carl ruined it.

This is my brother's name and I think pretty cool. Although it can get annoying because nobody can pronounce it right! It's pronounced: KAH-RUL.

I never actually cared for the name Carl. On a show I used to watch called As Told by Ginger, Ginger's little brother's name is Carl.

The name Carl is the best damn name on the planet and should only be given to the elite among men. Not every other loser under the sun. If your name is Carl then dammit you better be cool.

Carl is a cool name. It's NOT geeky by the way.
