“Carla” comes across to me as the name of someone who’s kind and positive. Don’t listen to the haters— some people’s associations with names may be negative, but people can change that by being nice.

I’m yet another person who loves the name Carla; who couldn’t enjoy this name, since it’s so classy, unique, and stately? I’m surprised that it’s not as common as the name Carly. I have a cousin named Carlie, but I’d still use Carla for a potential child.

Carla is a really cool name. When I was growing up I only knew one Carla, and I remember not liking her name because it started with "car" (kids like / dislike things often for very dumb reasons). But now... it's just cool and confident!

My 9 year old daughter is named Carla Mollie, and we love the name, obviously! Only ever had positive comments about her name, and she is the only one in her school, unlike the many, many Amy's, Ellie's, Rebecca's and the like that fill the class registers!

My moms best friend was Carman and her little sister was Marla and that is how I got the name Carla. I had always wished for K until today, seeing it typed, Carla does look softer than Karla. Thanx, Carla Ann :)

I really dislike this name. Not to offend any Carlas out there but I think it's really ugly, masculine... totally boring. It's a very common name too, which really turns me off. Unfortunately, I dislike the Karla with a K spelling even more. That makes this name look even worse. Sorry.
