Karl

Prefer Carl.

I think Karl is a strong, handsome name graced with strength and royalty.

The name Karl is a distinguished German first name that echoes through an illustrious history of royalty, writers, poets, politicians, philosophers and scientists alike. The simplicity and sheer majesty of Karl has the cutting edge pedigree to allow parents in the Anglophone world to notice this significant forename as it is not overused nor common in places like the USA. Cheers!

I can't stand the K. It doesn't look "modern."

I like this name a lot. I would name my kid it. I like both Karl and Carl, but I prefer the one with the K. To me, the K seems more masculine.

Handsome! I like both Karl and Carl! But I don't like Carla.

So handsome.

I like this spelling better than Carl, but I still love the name.

Karl is a handsome, masculine name of Germanic origin that is definitely not feminine under any circumstance! An excellent
name with historic ties to Germany.

I think Karl would make a cute girl name. Technically names don’t have genders except girl names. I also like it spelled Carl too! Carla is just a form of Carl that makes Carl more feminine. Carl is as feminine as it gets sometimes. I think this name should be listed as masculine and feminine like Kyle, Tyler, Ryan, Jordan, and Adrian, since they use boy names on girls, why not use Carl/Karl. I like the name Karl - it's more feminine and Carl is more masculine.

"Karl the Great" is a famous German King. Known in the Anglo world as "Charlemagne".

The name Karl is a true classic! It's very masculine, strong and respectable. The meaning of the name Karl perfectly fits any bearer! =)

Karl means 'man' in many Nordic languages (including Swedish and Icelandic) so, therefore, it is one of the most manliest names you can give your child. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it also means 'man' in Old Norse, so because it can be associated with Vikings, and it means 'man', so it is a very, very manly name.
My step dad is named Karl, and he's awesome, so I like this name very much. But I hate it when it's spelled with a C. Karl makes me think of a cool person, Carl makes me think of a computer-geek/hermit. (No offense to anyone who is named Carl, but that's just my impression of it).

I totally prefer this to Carl, Karl sounds much more interesting and strong to me than Carl.

My father's and grandfather's names are Karl. My name is Karly. I may name my son Karl. I like it. The K looks exotic to me. I hate the look of "Carly" and "Carl". My dad has the nickname Kardo (like kar-doo) and I get Kar. Great names, I recommend them.

Wow! Karl is a sexy name! I've never realized that before! I really like this name.

I like it because it's not that common, I like it better than Carl.
